A couple of days ago I went out and tryed to start my 1992 Chevrolet 4-wheel drive 350 v8 74000 miles truck and it kept cranking but it wouldn't start. I replaced rotor and distributor cap one day and it started and ran fine. Went out this morning and tryed to start it again, same problem engine would crank but would not start. So I replaced the ignition coil (removing distributor cap and rotor in the process) and again it started and ran fine. Now I try to start it two hours later and I am encountering the same problem, engine will crank but will not start. I put gas into the carborator directly to see if it was fuel, still would not catch. Do you guys think I need a new ignition module, pickup coil, need to replace entire distributor?

Hey Greg,
Certainly sounds like you're headed in the right direction though I would recommend a distributor replacement vice just a module or pickup. Its a quick and easy fix.

Regards,

Chris

Where would I get one of these? Or are they under a different name?

Thanks,
Greg
