He won't use anything but AC Delco. There are two reasons I use him: 1.) He is cheap,but good 2.) He knows what he is talking about with Blazers since he owns a personal fleet of 4 of them and his daughter also has one. He bought a 5th one around a year ago and his wife made him sell one of the others. He hid it behind his work garage for a couple of months till she found out.
I will ask him what the readings where when he gives a call about what he has found. It might not be for another couple days. He is a one man operation whose primary occupation is contracted towing for the county but does mechanic work for friends and he currently had 9 vehicles ahead of me but would run some tests in his off time if he got the chance. So now its a waiting game...

A Delco fuel pump is going to cost around $250, depending upon your mechanic's markup; the $150 to drop the tank, remove/replace the fuel pump, re-install the tank....does not seem all that bad to me, but I have no idea of the labor prices around your area.
Good idea to replace the cap and rotor, however if the distributor shaft bushings are worn, then the new cap and rotor are not going to last a real long time. Good news is that replacement aluminum shaft distributors are only around $50 off of ebay from Skip White which I think is somewhere in TN. After replacing the distributor the cam retard setting will need to be checked and set which requires a capable scan tool.....mechanic should have one.
Good luck.
