With these older Gm's if possible, i would have a computer, a crank sensor, a throttle position sensor, and map sensor, a coil and a ign. modual. And least enough tools to put any of the above on. Mine over time had me stranded a few times, and just what i said above in parts, would have got me going again.
No wait, one other time, but that time it was a timing chain snapped. For that, best tool is a cell phone..
