Having a couple issues with my new to me truck

The 88 318 should be F.I.,unless it was a late 87, early 88,360 or someone changed things.
Sounds like a vacuum leak for the running issue and maybe the 4wd issue.
Does that have a disconnect front axle?if so do yourself a favor and through the vacuum portion away and get the mechanical operated kit.

I know I got a couple of things going within this same thread but. I got the motor all back together checked compression. 149 to 152 on all cylinders which I am very happy with. Started right up and ran decent moved distributor around a bit and she was idling like a dream. Then she started smoking like a chimney I stopped it pretty quickly as it was dark out and don't have good lighting to look at everything good. I think it was probably just stuff like we 40/ antifreeze/water that got in places I couldn't get out when I took off the heads and everything during rebuild but and confirmation would sure help me sleep better tonight

got it running good and my distributor is now having problems which is awesome. going to work on that soon. got vacuum to the vacuum motor now but it isn't locking in going to look into that this weekend hopefully. smoke was from the large amount of coolant i forgot i had dumped down the exhaust when i pulled the head.

got the distributor rebuilt and was still having problems traced to a bad ground late last night so haven't drove it yet. this is my second vehicle so don't need to rush it. as far as the vacuum i think i got it kinda sorta figured out. switching is working just not engaging. probably that vacuum motor on the CAD. thanks for all the help
