Disconnect the battery, Mark the rotor to housing. remove bolt, lift distributor, the rotor will turn when it stops mark again at housing. To install, reverse.

Valve Stem seals, Most engines don't have exhaust ones from factory.

Oh, me me me me me. I love the power. I got to get a tach though, raced a Colorado through an intersection that goes into one lane and I think it was doing 7000 RPM, it wouldn't shift out of first. He never saw that coming.

Aloha, I use a swivel spark plug socket, not a swivel and a socket. or in the drivers side where the swivel and a 24" extension won't work I lay on my back and reach it from under with a 3" extension.

We checked the TPS & it works fine. We also checked the MAP & it is OK according to the test. This morning, it fired up & ran great... UNTIL... it warmed up & then the hesitation/die-ing was back. Warmed up it still idles great, but any movement of the throttle pedal & it hesita...

Get a OEM fuel pump, or NoAutoPartsAvaible Assembly. When the pump only goes to 40 on the first cycle it's time for a Very expensive pump.

I drove it all weekend and it was awesome. It's cool when at a stop light the vehicle next to me wants to get in front of me and I slowly axcelerate and leave them in the dust. It has a few small issues, look at all the pretty lights on the dash. I have pictures and am figuring out how to post them....
