No missfire I can hear, you do have to pump it a couple times to start it.

Recent plugs wires and cap, maybe 15,000 miles

The truck burns no oil, compression is good in all eight Cyls. It almost feels like the Cat Con is plugged.

Tod-Have you checked the timing per the advice on this thread? Be certain that you're getting your full ignition advance-we all know how doggy that can feel-if you have never replaced the shaft in the dist. I would just in the interest of good maintenance.The timing tag under the hood will give advice on checking timing also so you should have lotsa help there-good luck. Doug Schriener
