    Went from love to hate.

    Yes it can. I agree tho, run wire from battery straight to hot lead on dizzy. I replaced ign module and pickup on my dizzy to find out it was my ignition switch the whole time. It would miss at idle and cut out while drivin. Did it more after it warmed up.

    Yeah, those dog ears are the advance. That wouldnt cause a no spark issue tho. If everything is new besides the pickup that has to be it. Ive seen a PCM do this but it usually just goes out and aint intermittent.

    5.3 to 6.0 swap

    We did one at the shop. Customer broke a timing chain on a 5.3 and we had the 6.0 sittin in the shop. Just replace engine and PCM. All the wires and sensors are the same. If you use the 6.0 heads you will need to use the 6.0 manifolds also. The 5.3 manifolds wouldnt fit. Cant remember if the...

    Are headers worth it?

    Long tubes make a difference. If you dont go to long tubes its a waste, just keep stock ones.

    Distributor Question

    True. I think I might of set mine at TDC then turned the dizzy slightly to where it would fire before then put the cap and stuff on. Either way. Its easy to get it 180 out tho. It seems like Im always 180 out the first fire. Dunno why tho lol

    Distributor Question

    Which Vac Advance?
