If you have a wrecking yard close by, try buying a second hand TBI unit and installing it...so many times I have witnessed rebuilt units fail and fill engines with gas...

Of course you will need to change the oil again and filter...

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I see you are in NC where all the flooding is going on. I'd never even heard of hydrolock before. Will try turning engine backwards tomorrow!

Am wondering why the system is not relieving fuel pressure and how to fix that. Why didn't GM put a relief valve on the fuel rail that I could stick a hose on??? Cannot believe how much harder this truck is to work on than my old C10...
