Trucka No Start Part 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Welp, I tested to see if I had 12v+ at the "S" Terminal and "BAT" Terminal's on the starter. Sure enough, there was 12v+ at both terminals. So I pulled the starter off and went down to Kragen's and had it tested. It spun fine, but it was hella shootin sparks everywhere. So, I got a new one about to go on. When I get it all put on, here's what I"m gonna do:
1.) Rotate the motor with the timing light hooked up. If I see the timing light showing that I'm getting spark to the WIRES, then it's obviously fouled plugs. (Which I guess it COULD be, because I think I"m running really rich.)
2.) If I'm not getting spark at the WIRES, then it's obviously my module/rotor button/HEI pickup coil.
Wish me luck!

Good luck. My buddy has a 4x4 pickup that is experiencing the same symptoms. He's been through the distributor HEI, module and it still won't run.

I hope the starter is your fix.
