ok well turns out that when you put a rag in your intake tube to keep dirt out its a good idea to remove the rag before you start it. I pulled the horn off and was so relived to see the rag and then i checked over my sholder to make sure noone saw it. But my truck runs like a spotted as ape but smokes alot in the bottom end but clears right up at 1800. My timing ended up being set at about 16 to 16.5 somewere in the middle.

do you feel a significant difference ???

not in the bottom end but it gets it anything over 1800 the main thing i noticed is the motor scemes to idle smoother and speed up smoother. I havent checked the milage but when i checked my timing it was at 13 and now its at about 16.

should not smoke as much and you'll have lower egt's plus better mileage. glad to hear you found the culprit and a easy fix!!!!
