Engine run on

Post by HJS »

So I have a 70 D200 383 4 speed. I've had the truck 3 years and shes been on the road alittle over a year. My distributor was junk do I replaced it with an MSD system. Now, when it's a warm day and she's at temperature I'll shut the engine off and take the key out but the engine with still sputter on for a few seconds as If shes still getting fuel and/or ignition. I'm not sure what it could be because I didn't mess with the wiring.

Seems like the time I suffered from it I had to adjust the timing.
