How's everybody doing? I've got a 2001 blazer that just rolled over 200,000 Miles. Never had an issue untill now.
I had a leak in my intake gasket. I Pulled off the plentum, the intake manifold. I replaced all the gaskets that came with it and bolted it all back up. When taking off the intake manifold, i had to pull the distributer out (The whole "neck".) Upon finishing installation and putting everything back together. She's not firing up. Acting like i threw the timing. (I didn't touch the timing chain etc, just the dis. and neck.) Which i know plays a roll in timing. I know these engines are self timing after the chain and everything is aligned. But, i tried to hold ignition for awhile to see if it would catch, and nothing. What do i do? Re-poistion the spark distributer?

 

Welcome from New Zealand. Someone will be along soon with a response. (after moving this to the appropriate section)

Any pics?

 

sorry. No pics yet!! It's red with a three inch lift with 31 bfgoodrich ATs. It's trying to start and it's sputtering. The exhaust is dumping dark smoke. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
