Hello,

I recently did a V6 to V8 5.7 swap on my 96 GM C1500 pick. Swap went good until i tried to get truck to run and now i cant get spark. I bought a used harness and computer from a donor truck that had a 5.7 in it and it was the same year as my truck. I have power everywhere else but as stated i cant get a spark. This is becoming to be a head ache.

Im assuming you set the crank angle with a scan tool before starting?
I'm also assuming the v6 ran fine? Start with swapping the coil and ignition module from the 6 back in.
You dont have to bolt it in, just swap over the power connectors and try to start it.
