2000 k3500 crank, no start. Bought a truck that has had tons of parts thrown at it. Just about everything fuel, spark related has been replaced. Only time I got it to start is backing it into the shop, just turned the key and it started. Ran terrible then died. Has good compression, spark and is holding 55psi fuel with key on. Verified distributor is timed properly on TDC 1. Passlock is bypassed. Ether doesn't help. It did make loud pop out of the exhaust after cranking for a while and once out of the intake. I would on heavy duty diesels, first time working on a gasser that is this involved.
My next steps are to vacuum test and oil pressure test. Quite a bit of gunk up top when I pulled valve cover.
Any other ideas?
