He ended up calling me and telling me they couldn't find a problem through their diagnostics and belived it is an internal engine issue. The service manager approved shop time to pull the cover and ended up conclusing this is a GM engine warranty issue. They think the CAM shaft is off.....it should be fixed tommorrow with either a new engine or CAM under warranty. In the mean time thanks for all your help on this, I really appreciate your time to share your knowledge and experience with us fledgling mechanics.
In the meantime I'm driving a loaner purple lumina with red interior.
How is it realistic GM QA could ship a crate engine with a bad CAM shaft ??? At least it would explain why I had to slot the distributor clamp.
Thanks

You are welcome and glad I could help
Thank for letting us know how it is going.
Sounds like the dealer done a good job of checking it out and is helping you get it fixed.
And 10-4 on the fuel pressure gauge you need one right on the money for sure.
On the gm cam and crate engine it is kinda a bummer but strange things happen.
Was it a rebuilt or new GM engine?
Good luck and Let us know how it goes.
