    hi there i have a 88 jumbo i was driving it down the road it acted up and then stopped couldn't get it to start back up and have yet to get it back up and running, it has 41,000 km on it and was running like a champ. here is what i have done.:frustration::frustration:

    1 did compression check i believe it was 115 or 150 across the board so no bent valves
    2 took the carb off and cleaned it all up
    3 took the distrubiter apart cleaned it up and set the points.
    4 changed the plugs and fuel filter
    5 changed the coil out
    6 checked wires

    so only thing that i see is the spark is orange what is the normal color? what should i check next if that may be the problem
    could the truck jumped the timing? how do i check the timing to put it back to normal? pics would be helpful if you have them
