I read the title and thought, who in there right mind would put a V10 in a Blazer. I worked 11 hours straight, kind of tired.

You weren’t the only one who thought that. Although I was hoping to see a viper engine in the first pic.
V10 in a Ramcharger would be sick!
Come to think of it V10 in a Bronco would also be sick!
I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Me too. Can't you just edit the first post so it says what you want it to say? I simply deleted that unwanted header in my threads.
I honestly have no idea.

Bad module.

Pics?
See, I drove it.
My little buddy seems to like it.
Also, you can see my first modification. I had to put in a new ignition switch, so I installed a GMT400 steering wheel.

Also, I noticed it is an '87, not an '88.
Kind of like the old timer's ad said.......
Not sure how I mixed that up? Probably just because I have owned a bunch of 88's.

Just like I remember, TPI will roast tires at will, for as long as you want it to.
The Gov-Lock works.
It still has an intermittent no spark issue. Always has 12v+ at the coil. I’ve swapped coils, that changed nothing. I think it just needs a different distributor.

Installed a new distributor, that has so far fixed the intermittent no start issue.
I get that they don’t want you to remove the ICM, but maybe don’t apply the sticker to the distributor cap.......
My new issue is that I don’t know who did this swap, and I don’t know where they put the timing wire disconnect. I found a brown wire with some spade connectors in , behind the driver side cylinder head, so I thought that was it. I disconnected them, and set the timing.
It was not. It was hard to start (had to give it some throttle), did not want to stay idling, and was very short on power. I just advanced the timing a little more, but I need to figure out the correct wire, and set it correctly.
I also removed the running boards, and power washed it.

That's a stretch!

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!
I found the EST connector. Under the dash. Had to pop the glovebox down, and reach back into the black hole!
Set the timing. Now it needs an O2 sensor. Runs really bad when it warms up.
Also the windows don't roll down. So I fixed that.

Driving home from the bar right now.
In hind sight, I should have checked if the head lights worked, before I decide to drive it to work today.........
