Sound like you have the wrong plugs and/or plug gap.

Go with the OEM plugs originally equipped with your truck and the plug gap.

X2. .040" sounds like a gap for a point distributor. There should be a maintenance sticker under the hood with point gap that engine should be.

The wires are ac/delco factory wires and the ac/delco spark plugs that came in it are no longer available and a GM service bulletin says to use the ac/delco Iridium Plugs gapped at .040 as they come pre-gapped to .040 which they are. Thanks
