Getting the Wheeling Fever

I made it 600 miles, and I guess that's as far as she'll go unless I can figure out why I don't have any power. I'm struggling to make 60mph on flat highway. Could it be possible that my timing is that far off? Ughh.. I just want to get this truck home, but it'll never make it over the passes like this.

Yup... Timing is off. Try advancing the distributor until it pings under load a bit, then back it off a hair. It's a bit of trial and error, but it will get you home with decent power.

Doh. Timing was close. The connector for my #4 injector had popped off. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Hope I didn't burn out the cat.
600 more miles to go!
