We just started simple with the No. 1 cycliner at TDC we set the rotor facing the No. 1 wire in the cap. Initially it took several cranks to start then it shot up to about 1400 and idled relatively smoothly but that was the slowest it would idle. Just an FYI, this was with the throttle cable loose(with slack) so the cable is not the issue.
Then we assumed we were perhaps a tooth off, so we move the disty 1 tooth, and that is when we got the high idle as well as the surging when you try to rev it up or try to just hold the RPM's higher.
Sorry for my partial vagueness, I was sitting in the driver seat starting the truck and monitoring the RPM's most of the time.
Thanks again.
