I dislike 3 things about the engine. Obviously the distributor.
The other 2 are the lousy intake/injector system and last, the plastic timing cover.
Here are the easy ways to deal with all three:
aluminum vortec dist.
replacement fuel injectors
and possibly new to many people
cast aluminum timing cover |
So far I've only done the injector upgrade. Maybe when it gets warmer I'll do the distributor and the timing cover. I'm going to jinx myself here and note that I'm on my 2nd distributor cap after 140K and 22 years.
Thanks again Speedy for the links and info
