The truck now has really good grounds from battery to engine, frame, and cab. Didn't help the Chinese HEI.
So I put the old points distributor back in and got her running great. Still gotta hook up the choke cable.

She's got some electric issues, one of which was no dash lights. Night lights.
Got that fixed today. Found the instrument panel printed circuit was partially fried. While the cluster was out I found a few wires to nowhere and some of those clip connector things that come with trailer wiring kits. Got rid of those things and lubed the speedo cable.
I had another cluster and, between the two, made one good one. I hope. At least the dash lights up now. Haven't driven it yet.
If the oil light and the temp and fuel guages work I'm done with that.
