Showing items 1 - 4 of 4 results.
there are 3 engines they show for these trucks
4G33, 4G52 and 4G54
mrfixit is probably right, it probably is a 4G52
but if you want to be sure look on the driver side of the engine, opposite of the distributor and look about half way down in the center of the engine block, there will be a rectangle square machined off place in the block that is flat, clean it off and look, it will have the model number stamped in that rectangle square area.

firing order: 1-3-4-2
distributor rotation: clockwise
air gap (ign pickup): 0.8mm (0.031in)
timing advance: 10 deg

manual shows #1 wire on cap @ 9 o'clock but to be sure you can put engine to TDC and check rotor position.
