Re: 1981 K20 Project - The Blue Ox

Every time I see this thread I feel I'm lazy. Do love the truck.

On the ignition thing - Delco modules have more 'spike' protection than the others. That's why they cost more.

When my 4.3 started eating modules, discovered a bad Accel plug wire that caused internal distributor arcing (very difficult to see on a black cap) and subsequent failure. Good GM wires and module went 60K with no more issues. I no longer will buy Accel wires because of that.
