351W Help.........

1983 Bronco
351W
I have replaced the coil, wires, distributer cap and rotor, and the spark plugs. Removed varible venturi carb and put on a older 2 barrel carb from a 81' f-350 with a 351W. All I'm getting it 12 gauge gun shot gun blasts from the engine once every 30 15 seconds. What should I try and do? Is my timing off? It could be....... But would that prevent the engine from running NOT at all?? I was told there was a pick up coil and after taking the bottom on the distributer apart I found NO "pick-up" coil. I have NO vacum advance on the distbuter, When I bought the bronc a few hoses are plugeed here and there with screws, nothing out of the ordinary for an old vehical. What vital things am i missing? Getting good spurts of fuel from the pump when turrning the engine over. Step by step process? Thanks guys!

It does sound like timing and yes the truck can start and run one or two teeth of on the timing gears. How many miles? The pick up coil in the dizzy is in the top of the dizzy under the cap. It has to have something there or it wouldn't run. Didi you do a compression check yet? Check the rockers arms to insure the cam doesn't have a bad lobe.
