If you can get your hands on a spare distributor to try for free, definitely do it. You may have a weak coil that is on its way out. If you were in norcal, I'd let you try one of my distributors...I have 2 spares.

yeah i wish i saw your post before i went and did it. plugs are way different. if i had my hands on a multimeter, it would be so much easier, but i dont so i cant test shit. thanks though...
i've worked on it all day, new fuel filter, new plugs, tried using 96 LS injectors, etc etc.
