After all the consternation and headaches, the old 6x6 seems to be running pretty well. Problem is, I really do not know what we did? On the advice of an old experienced mechanic we put the old original coil back in the truck. At the same time I used a vaccum gauge to adjust the carb and timing as best I could. We also changed the oil and replaced the generator and compressor belts.
When we took it for a run it ran fine. ran it several times over the next few days and then the real test, a 25 mile round trip to attend a 4th of July parade. It ran down the four lane easily at the 55mph speed limit.
So thanks to all that offered opinions and advice, we appreciated it all. Next up I am going to try and get the oil pressure ga working? I'll probably be on here bugging you all again.
