Might be a good idea to get under that thing and check all the wires.

Probably your spark control box that sits under your rad overflow bottle....not unusual for them to go

I have talk to alot of guy that have done that swap and they love it! I have done this swap but I have a ford 300 striaght six so it was a little more complicated. as far as I know you just have to take the disy gear off your old one and place it on the gm disy and take your main power from your old coil wire and hook it up to the gm coil and of course set up the time and all of that stuff. it give you better start up and throttle responce.

^^^Interesting...I've heard of the swap....I didn't think it was that easy though...lol....so what GM does the Disy have to come from...can it be anything from a carbed v8 to a 4.3v6?...(maybe I should do my own research...lol...naw to easy...just ask questions and let someone else with nothing to do do your leg work lowrad...lmao....ok...creepy....refering to myself in the third person again...ok..who said that...O crap...did I say that outloud or inside voice....OK...me confused myself enough...on with the original topic of conversation)
Yeah sounds like no spark ;Drotflmao....man I gotta get some meds or something ;D
