So I am restoring a 94 C2500 she’s definitely a fixer upper but this is my first pick up and I’m gonna put as much money and time as she needs. With that being said, she tries to start. She sounds like a tractor when trying to start. Her idle is horrible, when she starts at all, most of the time it’s just “coughs” like a diesel and doesn’t start. I know the timing is off and she needs a starter and ignition coil (I have the parts just haven’t installed them yet.) I have already replaced the distributor, alternator, and battery. Also when I replaced the spark plugs all of them have oil on them. When she does start she smokes white (only if I give it the beans though) sorry in advance for the book, I just love this truck but I’m thinking I’m in over my head, diag. wise (94, 350, tbi, 4L80e )
