will not run because of no spark at the plugs

You need a complete distributor. ~Michael

Did you replace the entire distributor housing or just the removable module inside the cap? ~Michael

Here’s a question… is the distributor rotor even turning? I’m thinking broken timing chain…

On this engine, I believe the distributor is driven by the oil pump, so a broken timing chain wouldn’t stop it from turning. But there are other internal issues that could. If you haven’t already done so make sure the rotor is actually turning. I’m assuming you’ve actually tested for spark and foun…

Nah, it’s just a 2.8, it’s got a cam-driven distributor just like any other GM V6. The oil pump is driven by the distributor, maybe that’s what you’re thinking of.

GreasyJack: The oil pump is driven by the distributor which is driven by the cam shaft which is driven by the crank via the timing chain. If the chain breaks the cam won’t turn, the distributor won’t turn and the oil pump won’t turn. ~Michael

Oh, er, yes… I suppose I knew that if I thought about it…

You need to verify that you’re getting battery power AT the distributor, both with the key in the RUN and START positions. Maybe the ignition switch has wheezed its last.
