    Fuel pressure test 5.7 vortec

    The engine originally cranked as if it were out of timing but I fixed it by re stabbing the distributor. It shows almost 11.2 volts while cranking. Cables are clean and dont show any wear or fraying. Fuel filter was changed last week as it was recommended by a mechanic when I changed the...

    Fuel pressure test 5.7 vortec

    Fuel pressure test 5.7 vortec

The distributor has a dimple which i aligned with the...

    Fuel pressure test 5.7 vortec
