So After I checked and rechecked Everything twice or three times I filled her with cheap regular 5w30 cranked her up and let her warm to idle then checked timing with a light and found my degrees btdc to be off ... With a Further study of things, I discovered That I inserted my distributor one tooth off when I inserted it. So I shut her down, fixed that and rechecked valve lash.. set timing to 5 degrees btdc....Did some city and Highway driving and so far so good.... Oil looks good , no consumption and no smoking, I also flushed the radiator so that looks good too.... Hopefully this will get me another 100k and God willing I'll be able to afford a long block then. Cheers to everyone here on Yotatech because if my FSM doesn't have it... I find it here.

Mike and his team at Griffith Toyota has a good start of Toyota parts for first gens.
I use Toyota Parts Overstock at Lakeland Toyota to research part numbers
I plug those part numbers into Parts voice .com to see who has those parts or if they are obsolete.
hope this helps

Thanks! I had a good starting point for sure with a 99.9 rust free truck from AZ. One day I plan to strip everything off to get the body done right and get her a decent paint job. For now I'm just enjoying wheeling around.
