Turning the distributor only changes injector timing...... if it's off too much the engine runs like.... well... you know. Gotta be pretty close to run decent.

I moved the distributor around with it running and it didn't seem to help,
Now you throw off the fuel sync. Make sure you get it back in the same position.

Huh, thought you could adjust timing on these old ones...I plan to check cam timing anyway, so I'll make sure and put it back to that point. Thanks.

Took a vid, this issue is tough to describe so I thought it may help. Around the middle of the vid I had it at full throttle but it died out. It usually will stay running at full throttle but not rev up....you can also hear the loud sucking noise, sounds like a massive vacuum leak but I checked and don't see any.

You REALLY need to check fuel pressure.... Is your gas gauge accurate? Might try dumping a few more gallons into it, and see if that improves its attitude any. (of course, if you have to drop the tank, it'll be heavier......)

0 PSI? It doesn't seem possible that it would even start at 0 PSI.

Okay, so I checked my fuel pressure Monday night, was at 0psi, I had other stuff to do so I left it at that. Checked if I could hear the relay tonight (I could hear it before when it was running bad) and I couldnt, so I jumped the fuel pump relay and now I have 40psi, it still runs the same, any ideas?
I'm wondering if by removing the "engine" fuse in the cab relay box I messed something up, I know it's just a fuse and it makes no sense but it really is the only thing that changed.

Need to put your truck info in your profile, and your sig.

40PSI for a 95 is good.

Did you put the fuse back??
