My truck did the same thing when i purchased it from a friend. I just did a tune-up on it (points,plugs,rotor, wires, etc) and its all good now. Im not for sure but i would think the point gap has something to do with it......Check your point gap. it shoud be at .018 then check your timing. As far as the valves go I would check them anyways as preventative maintenance.....its not a bad idea to have everything dialed in. If you want I could provide you with those clearances if you would like. good luck
Thanks guys for the information. That does make sense that it could be the points so I'll try that first before I do anything with the valve lash.
