Enjoying tomorrow's success today
Id say do a simple leak down test before throwing anymore money at it. also Id make sure the timing is correct as well when you put that new distributor in.
Does the fuel Pressure hold or does it leak down?
easy way to see if you have stock injection is yank that throttle body and peak inside with Mechanics mirror, you can also see if theres leaks.
I thought I read somewhere about a tech service bulletin about vortec engines using iridium plugs to set the gap at .040... Cant find it right now though of course.
Ok, I looked up the gap thing, there's a TSB about Delco Iridiums supposed to come out gapped at .040. Spec for the engine is .060, they were .060 out of the box, I just tightened it down a bit due to having 200k on unknown components. At any rate, it was the same before and after.
It holds fuel pressure as well. It starts easily hot, cold, it usually sits for days until I pull it in to work on it, or out to test my latest repair. It always fires up easily, except the two times I got it wet under the hood.
