UPDATE: SO FAR SO GOOD!!!
Got the package from Casper's today. I ordered all four parts to do the modification, but ended up only getting the adapter plate and harness adapter. Called Casper's and discovered there was some kind of miscommunication on what I really wanted so they only sent me the adapters.
I ordered the other two and they will be delivered tomorrow (Fri 5/9).
In the mean time I hit the bone yards and found a place that had the ICM and Coil out of an 1986 Olds 88 for $50. Sold.
Brought it home, hooked it up and the car fired up on the first try!!! Seems to run great. I let it warm up for a while and then started driving it. Put 30 miles on the car today and it idled for probably and hour or more (total combined time in between drives). So far no problems at all. Didn't quit once. It seems to run at least as good as it ever did. Maybe better. It's almost been too long ago for me to remember.
Checked the FP and it is between 35-40 psi. Should be good.
Tachometer still doesn't work!?!? That's the white wire that comes directly out of the ICM so I thought that the new ICM might fix this. I'll have to troubleshoot that under a different post. Maybe someone has been down that path already. The GM service manual pretty much just glosses over the wiring paths for this system by including it in the instrument panel block in the diagrams.
So at this point:
Is the cutting out problem over?????
Was it the pinched injector supply wire that I found????
Was it the ICM???
Was it the Coil???
I guess time will tell.
Thanks for all your insight, help, inputs and suggestions.
If the problem with it cutting out and quitting comes back - I'll be back.
Thank you all.
