Had intermittent spark, changed coil then had good spark. tried to crank truck. It took me a solid minute of turning it over to get it to fire. once it fired it ran for an hour with no trouble. killed the truck tried to crank and it did the same thing. plugs werent flooded as bad but still wet. I then took the Q jet off and put an edelbrock 600cfm on it. Still will not crank. Where should i go from here. I am in no way a mechanic or even really a gear head. I just dont like spending money on something that i can learn and do. Starting to reach my limit.
    Welcome aboard Rush, good to see you here. Unfortunately you've asked a question in someone else's thread and the replies following I think apply to you and not the OP (original poster) we're a pretty tolerant bunch and I just want to bring it to your attention that this is considered "bad form" or improper etiquette, so you should apologize to the OP for imposing and begin your own thread.. or, you can just tell me to stick it and mind my own business!

    Mike, look back to the top and Post #1 of this thread is Rush's. This thread is similar to another one, but looks like it's all good.
