This is exactly the thread I am searching for. My 88 K1500 is new front to back but was in good shape before (i.e. wiring, etc) but I am SO over the TBI and stock dist. (5.7, SM 465, ) It actually runs ok but my sister borrowed it to pick up trees and it shut of in the middle of the interstate. Dead. Cooled down for a while and now it decides to run. That is divorce by my rules. But I like the truck. It will get a sniper and a new elec dist and disconnect the ECM. Hopefully my cruise will still work…will let you know; Ordering parts!
