I'm wondering if there is a rear differential cover out there that will fit a 2000 Blazer (non-G80) that has a fill plug.

I understand. This is why I put the " 'advanced' " in quotes. The previous AC Delco cap looked like it had been crossfiring.

I installed an old-style distributor clamp. I'd read about the distributor offset and it just seems like the distributor is the root of the problem.

Hello,

I plugged in the MAF and unplugged the intake air temp sensor.

It ran like a top.

Could the air temp sensor cause low readings on the MAF the way it's set up?

No codes.

Symptoms include lack of power and intermittent...

Where can I find this Skip White distributor? I'd consider an aluminum distributor worth it even without the actual need for it.

Run the priming tool and see what happens. I rebuilt a 304 once that wouldn't prime until I manually spun the oil pump. Different setups, I know, but similar issues.
