replace that thing. 1 if it aint broke dont fix it is bullshit. i just put all new belts and hoses on my truck and none of them were broke or leaking. its called preventive maintenance
2 its damn near impoosible to replace that nipple while its on the truck and it might not have been leaking but as much as you have fucked with it tryin to get it loose its probably leaking now or well on its way.
3 you didnt listen to spencer. spencer is a gm tech. go buy the gm one. they changed the design its better now. you need gm parts,

Finally got the truck runnin again with no leaks although it took us longer than expected because I forgot to mark where the rotor was when I pulled the distributor so had to set #1 back to TDC and did all that bs and it took us about 4 different attempts to finally get it right it was idling pretty high at first but once we started it back up after 2 or 3 starts it went back to normal idle. Must have just been the computer trying to relearn I guess
update: still no leaks so looks like everything is good makes me feel good about myself after lookin in that seafoam thread i'm thinkin about doin this too in order to get all that carbon shit outta my engine. and i know i still need to do an oil change soon so after i do the seafoam i'll be sure and change the oil and i'm goin to do new plugs too, ac delco of course any words of wisdom before i seafoam it?
Good luck getting it to die. Mine wouldn't at all once the IAC opened. DON'T pour it IN the brake booster lol. (sorry Cez) Pretty much it. I poured most of the bottle through the BB vacuum line and shut it off for 15 minutes. Fired it up and drove the shit out of it. I didn't bother to change my plugs afterward. Run a hotter plug and they don't build up as much crap on them.
