Connect up the vacuum hose to the distributor . Check point gap for the miss. Use a timing light to check if the distributor shaft bushes are worn. The timing will wander if it is. Check the condenser and the coil .Check the distributor cap for cracks or carbon marks and that there is a carbon pin under the coil lead inside the cap

1993 2500 4x4 Chevy replaced the distributor cap rotor and plug wires.would not run before now it runs but missing bad and smokes blowing oil out

Sounds like you have major engine trouble - the first step is to take a compression test - if you have low compression in any cylinder that is the cause of the missing and you will need to disassemble the engine - chances are you have broken rings, since there is oil in the exhaust - hope this helps - good luck :O)

Replace timing chain cover on 1999 chevy van 2500

should be able to get the cover off with the engine in the frame. Just take out the grille and header support, then disassemble the front of the engine. If you are dead set on removing the engine, she comes out the front after taking everything out of the way.

5.7 gm runs rough and back fires through the intake

I agree with the timing. Your timing is way advanced causing pre-detonation and throwing your flame front and/ or unburnt fuel out through your valves and into your intake manifold. If you have gone off-roading a lot or someone has been beating on your engine or engine compartment while the engine is running your knock sensor will advance your timing to try and fix that. I agree that you should get that thing on a scanner ASAP but I can almost guarantee that you need a timing job and possibly a new knock sensor.
