I am not opposed to buying a o-scope if a decent one can be had for a reasonable price.
Anyone have any recommendations?

So on sunday afternoon I had a couple hours to spend some time with it.
I pulled the distributor, removed the shaft, chucked it up in my lathe, cut the tack welds off and knocked the old reluctor...
Sadly I do not have one and do not know anyone with one.
I have been digging around in my storage looking for my old original distributor I had in it before this one. I was tempted to swap it...
Interesting.
Could a magnetized reluctor cause the issue I am having? And could it cause them intermittently?
It is kinda hard to describe how I rebuilt the distributor. But pretty much the...
Again, sorry for such long times between posts/updates. Just been really busy between work, life, and other projects.
The alternator was mentioned a couple times in this thread. I had been having...
Life and lots of crappy weather have been giving me fits.
It seems like it has been raining every weekend, then we had that big cold snap.
Then when I had a sunny weekend, I had so much other...
Found this in storage. Came from some type of GM V6 with DIS. Not sure what one.
Make me a offer.

Was digging around in my storage a few days ago and ran across this.
A holley 4 barrel TBI unit. Pretty sure it is from one of their old 4d injection systems.
No idea if the injectors or sensors...
Sorry for the late response. Weather has not been on my side. Seems like it has been raining here every weekend, the only time I have to work on it.
I checked for proper power and ground to the...
I have not changed anything in the tune, so unless it reprogrammed itself, it should still be set for closed loop. Plus it was working fine before the issues all started.
I'm thinking all the time I...
Ok, so I ended up ordering the pickup coil and ignition coil for the camaro. I got the standard motor products pickup coil, and a ngk ignition coil.
The pickup and coil shipped separately, so I...
Looking up the parts on rockauto, a 1985 camaro with the 305 tpi V8, and a 1985 corvette with a 350 tpi V8, they both show a large cap HEI distributor and they both look identical, but have different...
So looking up the pickup coils for TPI V8's, apparently there are two different ones.
There is a LX324, listed for a camaro, and a LX320 for the corvette. (both standard motor products part...
I did not really think much of it when I saw it, as I thought it was either just me, or the spark tester.
But when I had the spark tester hooked up, and I was cranking it with the bypass unplugged...
It will not let me read it without logging in.
Can you elaborate on this a little? This is the first I have heard about this. However I have been out of the fuel injection/tuning loop for a few years. Plus I do not work on much anything other...
I am running a HEI distributor using a 7 pin module.
I bought a aftermarket HEI distributor for the AMC/Jeep V8. It was for carbed engines and had a 4 pin module.
The pad the module sets on was...
After messing around with it and driving it around the yard a few weeks ago (my last post) I only just had some time today to fiddle with it.
I started it and it was a little reluctant to start,...
Couple weeks ago I had a little time and I rotated the engine to TDC on #1 and the piston felt like it matched (using a screwdriver). The rotor was pointing at the #1 terminal, but not perfectly. I...
I had some time this morning to work on it.
I dug around and found my noid lights. I also found a spare injector pigtail.
Before I started the engine or did anything, I unplugged all the...
Would have not thought to check the injectors. They were new when I put the MPFI system in. Bought them as "new take off" that had been removed from a new crate engine. They did in fact look new and...
So I got a ecm pigtail at the junkyard and finally had some time to try and fool with it today. I have just been super busy lately.
I made me a new wire for the MAP signal. I just laid the new...
Thanks for the tips.
The jeep does not have a EGR and all the related wiring was removed from the harness long before I installed it years ago.
I forgot to include it in my original post, but...
Well the parts store did not have a vac gauge or back probes.
However I feel like the issue is electrical and not mechanical, seeing as how it was intermittent at first. I may end up ordering a vac...
That was one of the early things I did with no change.
I also tried another spare ecm I had with no change.
When I pick up a vac gauge this weekend, I'm gonna try and get some back probes and...
