Need help! NO SPARK

[liquify33]

Updated Update:

Repaired ground wire terminal, scrubbed contacts and no spark.
Replaced crankshaft position sensor, fired up like a dream.

Im about to take a victory lap around the block and check it all out.

Ran for about 20 minutes with occasional throttling and tested heating and controls and monitored gauges.

Great to hear. Basics are the key, initially, with any problem.

I’d like to give a big thank you to
@PNW VietVet @exp500 @bigfootchiro

Your advice and recommendations were spot on every time I had a new development. I probably threw too many new parts in at once for a novice and definitely failed at protecting the old ones.
Thank you all again!

Glad it is all good. It's always nice to feel confident in your Tahoe when you turn the key. Trust me, I have been on the other end of it just like you were.

We’ve all been there! Everyone on here helped me greatly with my issues, so only best to return the favor!

You may need the TechII Tool to set timing.

You do not need a Tech2 to set timing. All you need is a scanner that reads live data, and has the ability to read CMP Retard. You rev up to 1000-1500 RPM, check reading, turn distributor accordingly (clockwise to advance timing, counterclockwise to retard timing (please correct me if I’m wrong guys)), recheck and set within -2 to +2 degrees.

Unless times have changed I remember it being just the opposite for the advance or retard of timing, when turning the distributor.

No timing issues, no codes. Aftermarket distributor made it pretty easy with TDC confirmation.

Point brass tab at the mark in the corner and done.

I have HPtuners for codes and data but I can’t find where the proper camshaft retard sensor CMP reading is. Im sure it’s there but I don’t know how to use the software.

That very well could be. I can’t remember

There should be a user manual online

Again, my reasoning is that I remember that the rotor spins clockwise and to turn the distributor counter clockwise, against the spin direction of the rotor, is advancing the timing.
