Disconnect power to the coil. Take cap off. See if rotor is turning while cranking engine. If not, you most likely have a broken cam gear or timing chain.

82 should be mechanical pump,drivers side in front of engine by oil filter,filter is inside fuel line at the carb

You might have a head gasket going south on you,Here is a test you can do to confirm it,Take your overflow line and stick in a clear bottle with water start the engine an see if you have bubbles in the bottle,if not at start up wait till engine gets up to temp and the thermstat is open, if you have bubble you are getting compression in your coolant system,I hope this helps you And thanks

You get a scanner to see what code is stored if any. Most likely you have a bad solenoid internal to the tranny thats bad or sticking. Also if you have engine issues this could also cause trans issues. Either way you will need an expensive scanner. You cannot rent one. You will need to take the truck into the shop for diagnosing

check for a blown 15 amp fuse,probably shorted out and blew.if its good then replace the headlight switch

Have you tried backing the timing up about 2 deg.

1978????? my best guess would be loose connection somewhere or glazing on a terminal. however with that many years on it I have seen the wires between the alt and batt and volt regulator get rusted under the coating (usually toward the ends) so you could peel back the casing and check that. you may need to replace those wire harnesses

I've pulled steering columns apart before, especially in the early 70's trucks. The mechanisms in your column sound like they are worn beyond repair. There are ways to fix them or restore them but the easiest thing to do would be to rplace the column. They are a pain to put back together when disassembled. If you need help in locating a replacement column, let me know...email me at [email protected]. I would be able to get you one fairly cheap. I woould only charge you EXACTLY what the post office charges. I am active duty air force and also a seller on ebay (c17hydro). I have a paypal account and like I said, I would be more than willing to get you a replacement column. Just let me know the particulars for you and we can go from there.

1982 ?? their wouldnt be any adjustment as they are fixed jet carbs ,you could try fitting new jets but whats causing them to eat away in the first place i dont know unless its the fuel additive that you have to add to the unleaded fuel

Try replacing the flasher unit (under the dash). Blown fuse?

sounds like its vapor locking,try a vented gas cap,or a clothes pin on your fuel line close to the carb.

yes

on the fire wall is a black or chrome square box about 4 x 4 inchs . this is a fuse block assembly that transfers power .

u will blow alternater and battery if u do this ,replace voltafe regulator and see if u get 14.25 on a volt scale,if not replace alternter,if battery test good (check with load tester),increasing the wire size from alt. to batt. might help also

You may have dirt in the needle valve. A quick fix for this is to remove the fuel line and attach a longer line to it, placing the free end into a large container (at least one gallon) Floor the pedal if necessary to get started, then back off and keep it running till the carb runs out of fuel. Re-attach the line to the carb and re-start...the rush of fuel going past the valve often will clean it off. If you do this twice and don't get it to work, then the carb needs to come apart and the float has to be checked to make sure it still floats, and that the fuel bowl isn't full of gunk. If it is, either rebuild it or replace it.
