    I wasn't 100% sure where the mark on the distributor body was located and I was too lazy to trawl through the PDF's to find it. Please tell me you got your engine firing right Now for the fun part - dialing in the tune and getting 'er to pull like a train

    I got the engine up and running. Unfortunately, engine rebuilders screwd up on some things on the engine. The oil pan is leaking a crazy amount of oil in the rear of the engine pan. Right next to the transmission bell housing cover. Another thing, one of the engine freeze plugs literally popped right off into the street somewhere. Texted the engine shop for a new one, no responds. My engine almost over heated, I pulled over to the curb before it got too hot. Only went to the center on the temperature guage. All the coolant gushed out of the side next to the starter. Had to call triple AAA and get the truck towed 23 miles. It was cold and new years eve. Had to sleep in my truck in the freaking cold to wait for a tow truck. Thank God for the bench seat. The tow truck didn't arrive till the next day at 5 in the morning when I got woken up by a AAA technician calling my phone to let me know they found a tow truck driver. The crazy part about this whole experience is the tow truck driver lived across the street from where my truck was parked on the side of the road! Pretty cool driver, we chatted it up along the way back to my place. The guy has worked multiple jobs. Anyways, I bought the new freeze plug, needed my truck working again. Didn't have the time to argue with the engine shop. Getting the freeze plug was not fun! Let's put it this way, American public transportation is slow! Something 15min away takes an 1hour in the bus. Smeared permatex number 2 on the freeze plug and on the engine and hammered it in the engine. Went in smoothly. Although, I felt it could have been tighter. Hopefully it doesn't pop out again. Now the truck is back up and running but idles like crap. Doesn't stay on unless I gas it. I'm guessing this is a combination of the distributor and carburetor?
