1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

[Eagletucky]

That was one of the items I replaced when this issue presented itself. I have new plugs, and wires. It could be a faulty coil pack or maybe a fuel pump. I just don't want to keep chucking $100 bills at this, hoping to solve my issue.

I'm very confident some run time on a dyno will give me the info I need to move forward.

Thanks for the advice!!

My biggest setback is that im still throwing the Check Engine code P0300 (multiple misfire). Im going to get some time schedule at the local tuning gurus dyno to see if he can better diagnose the issue, as im tires of just blindly throwing parts at this hoping it solves the problem.

I just noticed that snazzy rug you have in the shop. It certainly adds a little class to your work space.

My wife wanted to throw it out. I thought how nice it would be rather than laying/kneeling on the floor. And it really ties the room together!

UPDATE: Soooo, I took the burb to the local dyno yesterday to work on tuning the few issues I had out. After about 5 pulls on the dyno, he felt like he had solved the problem. He got the burb off the rack and we took it our for a ride. As soon a we got out on the county road, the motor lunched itself and destroyed the #7 piston, scattering the remains all through the motor. Brand new motor, complete garbage.... Im currently in touch with the motor builder to see what he wants to do. I feel that it could have been sub par pistons installed, but we will see.

Im pulling the motor this weekend. More info to come....
