    Just won't seem to fire.

    Final update post. The truck is up and running good today. After changing coil, distributor, rotor, cap, battery and throwing on a last minute fuel pump the job is done. Fixed the shaky idle and backfire with about 14* timing and a new distributor cap. Runs like a champion turtle. Thanks...

    Just won't seem to fire.

    Well here is an update on the old truck. I don't wanna have one of those posts that is just up in the air. We swapped out the ESC distributor and just installed a four prong module distributor and didn't hook up the ESC wiring. After replacing the fuel pump we got it to run. Fiddled around...

    Does my truck have a computer?

    I had one of my Chevy buddies swing by last night while I was working on it. He told me the exact same thing about taking a step back and collecting my thoughts. I am going to pick up a fuel pump after work today and get the fuel side taken care of.

    Does my truck have a computer?

    That is the route we are headed. I started another post in this same forum about what the problem is and what we have done so far. I updated it this afternoon. I am back to the drawing board again...

    Does my truck have a computer?

    I took my Q-jet off and installed a 1406 Edelbrock. The only electronics that I messed with is for the choke. There were two wires.

    Does my truck have a computer?

    This is probably a question that the majority of you will laugh at. I keep hearing people talking about some 1986 C10s having a computer. I know there is the ESC in alot of these trucks, but I didn't think the ECM came out until 1987. How can I tell if mine has a computer? I know mine was...

    Just won't seem to fire.

    Update: We stuck another distributor in it this afternoon. It was out of an older truck because it didn't have the harness that comes in the back side against the fire wall. It also has a 4 pin module. We checked TDC, rotor location and even pulled the valve cover off to watch the valves...

    There is a guy on the Mokan website (our local drag strip page) who is looking for a Gen 2 with under 100K for under $10,000. Basically, in a nut shell, "Good luck with that". I would not let mine go but if I did I wouldn't do a penny under $15,000.00. Thanks for the welcome Mr. Clean

    I can get around Tulsa pretty good. Growing up just across the line north of there we had no place to go for fun. Either Tulsa or Bartlesville. The thing with Tulsa is there is too much construction constantly. Living over this way now we are closer to Joplin, but that place gets boring...

    My mother's side of the family is from California and it is a nice place to visit, thats it. I will say I do love San Diego a very nice place to visit (or go to bootcamp and MCT). Especially when I traded my Ks winter for MCRD.

    I would gladly drive in Tulsa or KC any day compared to OKC. That place is a mad house.

    I bought a new coil and it didn't take care of anything. I have only one thing left to change and I am just going to replace the distributor and not the pick up coil. I just have to find some time to free up and do it. VanBuren Arkansas huh? My Gma was a "Pointer" from VanBuren

    I used to be an inspector for the DPS in West Texas. I agree that a lot of it is getting pretty over the top in most states. TX is pretty bad around DFW and Houston. Just passed through OKC a couple months ago. I like the bypass off the I-40 to I-44. Makes OKC easy to get through. I like...

    Just won't seem to fire.

    Yep I am afraid that is going to be the way I am headed. My PIP went out in my 94 GT and it did the same thing. Dropped in a new distributor and away I went. Jims86---I did check the power with the ignition in the on position. I only tested it with a light, but it was a very bright strong...
