Sorenson vortec MPFI Conversion spider assembly

[slowburb]

Has anyone used this item? I have a #2 misfire condition and just installed this piece, it is brand new, within 30 miles of drive time, the part failed.

Anyone?

i just did mine and and got the one made by delphi (gm) got it thru my local parts store by any chance did you get that thru autozone?

 

[slowburb]

Yep. Autozone. I get commercial rates through work.

i have had a few of those go bad from autozone a couple of v8 ones and a v6 unit,see if you can get a delphi or standard makes one also that is good

I put one in from O'Rielly's and never had a prob. I have since done a couple from other places and no probs. I have it down to about 1.5 hrs to do one of these. Sounds like your going to get your practice in too.

 

[slowburb]

I already have the 2nd sorenson piece. It will go in, and if it fails, I'll replace with another manufacturer's part. Thanks for the replies, fellas.

any time

I got a dumb question.....how do you know when the spider unit is going or gone?

 

[badazzbulldog]

on the back of the intake where the vac line to brake booster connects you can remove that piece and look in with a flash light if its wet its leaking also look down thru the throttle body and see if its wet there

for those who think the spider is going bad don't forget to check your distributor gear for unusual wear, it will give you a misfire condition that feels like fuel but is actually just changing your ignition timing.
