If you see any white stains around the ground bracket, the coil is breaking down due to being over worked ( too long at max voltage). Another thing to check is fuel pressure. The system is already a low pressure system to start with. Unfortunately you have to tee into the pressure feed line to get this info.

When to add sea foam to diesel fuel?
For cleaning, use 2 or more ounces per gallon – the more you add to fuel, the better it cleans! Add when the tank is low to maximize cleaning concentration. For injector cleaning machines, use 50/50 mixed with gas. Use 100% Sea Foam for diesel injector cleaning machines or when priming diesel fuel filters.
What kind of fuel injection does a GM 454 have?
Does his engine have 2 4 barrel carburater or a throttle body Fuel Injection. If a 4 barrel it might be the accelerator pump. I’mpretty sure Tim’s is a throttle body injection like mine. These look like a carb but are far from it.
