This is the problem guys. Please do not laugh becouse I do not work on cars or truck very much. Actuall I change the brakes and roters and that is about it.
Not yesterday. I tried to change the plugs, wires, distrubter and roter. Now the truck will not start. I am pretty sure that I have the wires right since I took them off one at a time while putting them on the new distrubter.
It will not turn over for anything. I have no idea what is going on, I put the old distrubter back on and that did not fix it and I have tried putting everything back on and it still will not go. It it like it tries to go then just goes back if that makes sense.

Well, if it won't turn over then it sounds like a problem with your starter. Does it make any sound when you try to start it?

Yea, it makes a noise. I really do not think that it is the starter. When I try to turn it over it is like it backfires threw the carb, some kind of smoke or mist comes out of it.

You've got the plug wires on wrong I bet... Sounds like a typical timing issue caused by either the wires not being on right, or the cap/rotor being aligned wrong.

I agree on the plug wires probably being on wrong. Either that or the dist. cap isn't on properly/seated correctly.
Compare the following diagram to what you have.

LI Blackdak,
I put in my Borg & Warner kit with 9mm JBA wires today and did just that. It ran... on about 3 cylinders. :0/
Realized what I did, smacked myself on the forhead, and fixed it properly. Runs good now. :0)
Firing order and rotational direction, as well as cylinder numbers, -are- located on the intake. Cool
