so come to find out that I did indeed have v6 injectors, suppose that can happen when pulling tbi units from pickup beds in junkyards, this has been since remedied with proper injectors, replaced every component in the distributor after the pickup coil died for an unknown reason only to conclude that it just needed to be replaced, went with davis unified dizzy and coil. also new wire set, ac Delco junk with some being cracked straight from the box they a peice parted together with wires from other sets no doubt contributing to my current issue, as well as a few others, mainly wire management. any recommendations on wires and wire separators? also have since added jet afpr set to roughly 13 psi, only verified by a wonky pressure gauge that sits at 3-4psi while just sitting.... small crack in drivers side exhaust manifold as well as plugged cat that has since been relieved of its guts, also basically a rusty tin can for a muffler with no tailpipe to be found.
all in all the truck is running great, I'm trying to find the sweet spot for the time tho as the truck doesn't seem to want to run at 0degrees with the est unplugged. it will run but is gutless and backfires, no I haven't verified tdc on the balancer I know that's a big one in case its moved itself but all the rubber seems in decent shape so idk. I'm going to redo my valve adjustment later today and maybe I'll add that to me to do list. also found out the engine is an acdelco reman, unknown date of install or at what mileage so that's a thing, couldn't find much info if anyone has leads that would be cool.
I'd ask for thoughts and opinions but I haven't done or taken care of a few basic things like plug wires and other simple issues whis may solve all of them anyways, still....thoughts and opinions anyone? truck runs fantastic 96% of the time, sometimes it will start and idle like a diesel for a few seconds and then run fine-ish. other times it will start and die once or twice and then start and run fine. every once in a while it just doesn't have any power and I've got to feather the throttle to get it to rev and then runs fine. sorry for the long post but that's my story and I'm sticking with it, thanks for bearing with me guys
