Well, I stabbed the new Chinesium distributor in on Monday evening and have been driving it. No tach flutter observed in the ~100 miles I've put on it so far. So either I had an issue with the A/C Delco ICM or the pick-up sensor in the old distributor. A wiring issue is still a possibility though, I suppose. I did not put any more dielectric grease in the connectors. During the dizzy swap, I went to swap the coil out with the "new" Standard Motor Products one I purchased alongside the new dizzy. It tested bad right out of the box so I'm still running the old coil, which tested good.
Side note: It was cold and I busted the clip which holds one of the wiring harnesses which clips into the coil, the gray one. I have spare harnesses I pulled from treasure yards, but only the pig tails. Do those come apart easily? Because I'm wondering if I can replace the harness or if I have to cut my original and crimp the donor on. Crimping/soldering just seems like an invitation for corrosion. What do you guys recommend?
I love clearance lights, kind of a must have on a 3/4 ton and up truck for me. Any pics of the '90? Want to trade for a 1989 RC | LB 4x4 truck? Having two vehicles of the same type is nice when trying to fix the other. The ex and I kind of had similar vehicles for that reason, hers being a '92 C1500 and my '89 K1500.
