I had a '76 a Lil darker orange than that, I bought when was in high-school. Miss that old truck. I got a '77 C20 I'm working on now. Why I enjoy your vids
If the exhaust just closed, and the intake is just opening, that’s not TDC in relation to the spark. The cylinder hasn’t even taken in a mixture yet. The spark happens at (just before) TDC on the compression stroke. After the intake CLOSES and the piston comes back to the top. Am I missing something here? Seems like in the video you set it a revolution ahead, but there’s no way it would run then.
Im not trying to set it for the spark timing, Just trying to get close to TDC for the intake stroke to mark the balancer at close to zero. The piston is at TDC as the exhaust closes and intake opens. That's the beginning of the intake stroke. At this point #6 is at TDC for the power stroke.

Awesome, more Squarebody history.

Good work and info !! Waiting on some warmer weather up here in CO, to drop in my new GM Performance 350/357hp. Going in my 86 C20.
Great intro💪✅️
Thanks, that was Jacob's idea.
I just rebuilt the distributor on my 86 and your tdc/balancer @ 0° on timing tab explanation helps for setting timing- ty
Here's a video I did on replacing the dist. That might help too. th-cam.com/video/nehh879I1CM/w-d-xo.html
Front brakes only? Sounds like a rear tire torture test 😂
For sure.
No rear brakes??? Sound like a built-in line lock to me!
Lol

@@SquarebodyStuff OK. Gotcha. I thought you were saying to set the rotor to point at the wire there lol. Shew I gotta go to bed 🤣🤣🤣
No worries.
