Default cracked gas line

93 Blazer
To the left side of the distributor cap there is a big entanglemnt of rubber gas lines with connectors and splitters.
Is this normal or modified?
...and coming from this mass the rubber gas line(small) that plugs into the engine was pretty cracked and beat.
Could this be the reason it wont fire over?
sorry dont know all the technical part names

Your fuel lines should be metal hard lines, not rubber. But yeah, if you have a massive vacuum leak, that could be the reason for it not starting. I'd start replacing any of the visibly cracked lines. Just follow them from junction to junction and replace each one individually.

Scottyk, those are vacuum lines, and the port on the intake that they attach to is not big enough that it would cause a no start. How mant threads do you have open for this one no start? As I stated in 2 others, you need to check for fuel pressure with a gauge not depressing the valve with a screwdriver. Then you need to check for spark. Do these very simple tests and let us know what you find. Korey.
