Thanks for everyones help loading my broken truck back onto the trailer.
I run a billet MSD distributor with an adapt-a-cap.
Pulled the distributor cap and saw that a phillips screw had come loose and caused the rotor to go out of phase (firing on the wrong cylinder). Re timed everything and it started right up.

Thanks Pete, How was the boat ride home?

First thing I did was pull the plugs (Thanks Ohio Rich). When they were ok, I felt a lot better. When I did the compression test, and removed the valve cover and all looked good I slept a lot better:D

The motor is three years old and has over 50, 11sec passes and now a few 10sec passes.

Racing next week in the NMCA True street class. Its a fun race and I'm going try a 11sec index, heads up race with no breakout.

Good to hear that it wasn't serious Ken. That truck of yours is insane.

Up and running already? You waste no time! Beautiful setup you have there- I'm just glad I got to see it in person.

Hey ken, glad it was something simple. It was great to see your truck in person. And to see you race in the 10's.
