Some are reading.

I replaced the old spider with a new mpfi yesterday. My P0302 is gone!

I broke the pcv hose elbow during reinstall. The local parts dept didn't have one and said they couldn't order one. hmmmm. I made one with stuff laying around.

Kayaking and fishing is in my future.

congrats.....I'm hoping for the same outcome [sans broken hose].......i just twisted mine off at the cap......

I should have all of my parts by Saturday......

I just finished all of the plugs today..........I cussed chevy a lot during that job!!!!......the engineers should have been made to change the plugs on the first one to come off the line.........when you have to take a wheel off, pull out the air box, and disconnect the steering shaft, just to change a plug.....it's pretty bad engineering if you ask me...

I've been changing plugs in chevy's for 55 years...........and NEVER have i had one as bad as this blazer :-(............I bet i never change them again.....I could not get to one plug or wire from the top......

They are the original delco platinum plugs. They were advertised as being capable of 100k miles before needing replacement. It was a big deal 20 years ago. I think that's partly why access to them wasn't much of a concern for the engineers.
