The S10/S15 Blazer/Jimmy fuel injection system can support up to 300 HP without any modification. Use a premimum NAPA distributor cap with brass electrodes. The AC ... Read More...

Very Costly and not efficient at all! They replaced all the wires, plugs, rotor cap, and distriburator. Before even acknowledging me the owner suggestions that it was fuel related. I had told them I had ... Read More...
