Re: I came home from work but the truck didn't
There is never a good time for breakdowns but they will happen every now and then.
Your new dist should take care of the engine electronics ok and it may even run a bit better too. Now that burned wire deal. How's the alternator charging? Stuck voltage regulator maybe or is the under hood wiring harness in serious need of replacement?

Re: I came home from work but the truck didn't
I just reran those wires and everything is working great. Except for the leaks I just bought the alt. It is a 94 amp alt from an 84 Camaro 305 engine code "G" and just bought a battery that is meant for the battery holder and 200 CCA higher then the small thing I had in there. Got it trickle charging now since it killed the battery driving it home with that wire like that.

My Pop always told me the easiest way to find a short was look for smoke.

Re: I came home from work but the truck didn't
I did that when I was in the preschool of wiring. Installed my alarm in my car and was using a probe detector. Two wires I probed ended up touching later on and was smoking out the dash.
