i do have an electronic ignition system, i have a gm hei setup with the coil in cap.
what i mean by crank at the flick of the switch is, i have to do the several pats on the accelerator, and then it cranks over for several seconds before it starts. once it starts it runs great. has plenty of pep and the gas milage is pretty good for a 250, about 20 mpg. 3:08 gears i guess. it does not hesitate or have any other problems. but it really means a lot to me to be able to hit the key and it fire right up.
i don't want to have to do the dance on the gas pedal thing. that takes away from the enjoyment of the old truck experience.
the goal on this truck is to have a really solid relyable vehicle. i want it to have a new vehicle feel. if you know what i mean.
and thanks for the response.
