hey guys, sorry for the late reply. family emergency, had to fly to d.c. :0

Any ways, to answer some questions:

AFM has been replaced with a stock one, while it was running. It ran with the *new* one so its good to go.

Spark is good, from the ignitor/coil pack to the plugs.

Have tried rotating the dist throughout its range while turning over, nothing.

BUT I haven't checked to see if its set correctly. I will do that, and try to see if its 180 out. Would it of run at all 180 out previously?

As far as the open circuit relay, I honestly dont remember, so I will go back and bone up on it, and then come back and let you guys know one way or another.

For the cam, it is something I have been told to replace for quite a while now, but it is low on the to-do list with the truck, because I am thinking the cam wouldn't cause it to NOT start after it had been running with the cam in it to begin with. But it is crappy, and I learned a valuable lesson with both the cam and the header I bought...you get what you pay for when you go aftermarket!

stay tuned, I'll let you all know any news.
