One thing to check (real basic).. Make sure you have all of the plug
wires routed correctly to the correct cyl. It MIGHT be the stumbling...
let's hope so.
Another thing, you cold take the valve covers off (sucks, I know)...
remove the coil wire, and have someone turn the truck over as you
watch the rocker action... It might be an obvious loose, and/or incorrectly
aligned rocker.
Do these rocker arms have the self aligning tips??? (AKA-- Washers on each
side of the roller tip?).... If not, you might need guide plates to keep
thing
straight...)
