Timing??
I read that the timing can't be adjusted on 88 150s (351W)except by a mechanic. I've tried to move the distributor on mine, but it won't budge. First, can I adjust it myself, and second, if I can ,the distr. must be frozen in place...how can I unstuck it? I've sprayed it with WD40, but no use. I loosen the hold-down bolt completely, but I just can't get enough leverage to break it loose. Am I going to break something, besides my knuckles?
Also, what would make the truck stall when I press the accelerator? I have to pat it until it picks up rpms before I can accelerate normally. It idles around 600 rpms. I know that's low. What does the problem sound like? Do I need to just have a mechanic put it on a diagnostic computer?
Thanks for any input!
