UPDATE: The truck currently starts & runs good, idle speed a little high by 100 RPM or so (but not always?) ~ got my laptop fixed & can upload photos now ~ used laser tach, timing light & hand vacuum pump to discover a new problem, the distributor vacuum advance diaphragm began leaking, did not advance the ignition timing ~ tested the mechanical advance, it works ok...
1) Replaced the dist vacuum advance actuator & tested vacuum advance, works good...
2) Changed engine oil twice & added polymer-ester additive to prolong life of flat tappets ~ no more noisy tappets
NOTE: Telltale sign of a vacuum leak on my truck is the brake pedal ~ the power feel of power brakes is deminished enuff to feel in the foot...
