there is a connector (spout) on the right side on upper intake that you have to unhook to set the timming. clem got a good idea. hows the cap and rotor?

You may want to have the battery load tested. if it is weak I have seen where a computer (like in a bII) wont function correcty. I have also seen these batterys take and hold a charge until called upon. if you are confident in your alternator(that can be tested too) I would look hard at your battery. I have also seen alot of problems with fords in general with the battery cables being bad or having a bad connection goin to ground

Battery testing can be done free at like Napa, or Auto Zone or Advanced Auto.... same with an alternator except you have to remove the alternator ahead of time....

i agree with Strokin76. When batteries are strong enough to start, but too weak to handle the load, weird things tend to happen when a load is put on the battery. Same with motorcycles....stuff like that usually turns out to be something wrong with the charging system. In motorcycles, it's 3 parts...not sure about these trucks. Battery/alternator maybe.
