1984 Chevy C/10 Pickup Truck Timing or Distributor Issues

I am having trouble with my 1984 Chevy C-10 Pickup truck. It is running very rough. I am thinking that there is an issue with the timing or distributor. If you have any advise please let me know.

your timing is WAY off! I would imagine since its popping out the carb the timing is either to far foward or your timing chain has jumped a few teeth. Popping out of the carb a SURE sign the timing is off.

after that take ur fuel line off (don’t want the truck to start during this) and put it in a catch pan or something to that affect take ur valve covers off and let one of ur friends just tap the ignition a couple of times if some of the rockers are moving more then others you could have bent pushrods or a bad cam or some really really bad valve lash lol just go through this and see if that doesn’t help
