One step forward, one half step back.

Got the A/C system reassembled. The GMT-400 I got the engine out of has a provision for a high-side switch on the back of the compressor, and the p/o broke the switch off. Now I have to replace the switch, but it doesn't have wiring. At least it will allow me to draw a vacuum and charge the system.


Two problems discovered when I backed the truck out of the garage 1) it wouldn't start, and 2) it is now leaking transmission fluid from the dipstick grommet.

Regarding #1, I've got a short somewhere in the ignition. Likely the same cause of my previous issues. The engine just loses spark. I jiggled around the distributor, and it started right up. But now I have a random misfire on #1, and it's due to the lack of "pulsing" to that plug. I'm going to try a junkyard AC delco distributor, with a new AC delco cap and rotor.
