Have a 74 c10 with a 250 inline 6. Rochester monojet. It idles so rough it stalls when placed into gear (it didnt used to be so bad).
Replaced points cap rotor condenser plugs and wires. When timed to factory setting of 8 before, it runs worse and will barely run. I have to turn the distributor a 1/4 turn clockwise( forgive my ignorance. Not sure if that is advancing or retarding it).
In the distributor the plate to which the points mount to is loose and wiggles, so the points are not tight against the cam lobes. I think this is my next approach. Any thoughts
