What else could it be? how can i tell what motor it is ? could there be a fireing order that i don't know and what is it? put new points in it too. still don't run like it what if any body outthere knows please i need some help to get this truck to go down the road i am about to roll it down a hill and set this problem to a firery grave

Could be as simple as condenser in dissy/ points??
Start it and rev with timing light, check that its advancing?
Does it seem to run better when advanced ??
What condition are plugs, leads, cap ??
Check for inlet leaks and all vacuum hoses connected...
Carb clean and getting fuel etc ??
