We are getting spark now but I'm still not sure the ignition is right. My dad is trying to set the firing order using a manual for a 300 truck six. And he is saying the #1 on my distributor cap is in the worng place. We have tired it both ways and still nothing.
Could it be possibile that we have the spark box and distributor mis-matched? Does it make a difference with the distributor if its for a blue or yellow grommet Duraspark box? We are using a blue grommet box.
Another concern is that since we decked the block and the head we may need shorter pushrods. I think we took .070 of material off, can the hydraulic lifters absorb that much, or will I need the shorter pushrods? I guess a compression test will confirm this, but the fittings on my compression gauge are broken now... D'oh :x

Could I use a YFA from a big six with a little dremeling on the baseplate?

Yes, you can. It will probably run rich and have a hesitation on quick acceleration because the venturi is so large, but in my experience it will work.
