Think I'll put my diagnostic rig on and see what the traces look like on the screen for each cylinder.

RTX = Retro, they were modeled after the original dash layouts for each year split.  73-75. 76-78, 79-87(91)

I prefer the look of these also.   I am only showing as Mike asked and this is the reason we don't offer factory replacement

Hi, The truck seems to be starting better, wires at coil were loose. The only reason I did not do the job myself is that I am recovering from bypass surgery. Now that I have seen the work that is coming out of this shop now and the prices, I wont go back. I was a little hesitant going in but gave them the work. They did the tune up, trans service, and an alternator. Thanks to everybody here for the help.

So is the consensus that the severe reduction in volume, i.e. 1/2"ID to 1/4"ID is not a concern?

if running inline I always run trans to rad cooler, then to rad to external if you can mount it at the front.
GM ran all of them that way when they did HD trans cooler. 
I am currently rerunning my Turbo truck remote as there is no room at the front with the Rad, AC and Intercooler. (pics will be posted)

As long as you don't compare it to a newer truck it will be fine.  Biggest cooler you can get as heat is the obvious killer or autos.

Not really sure what you are asking in item 1...
