I just noticed something ... you using a 24x CKP reluctor on the SBC, and using a Vortec distributor for the 1x CMP signal ... are you using 8 LS style coils for spark distribution, or the Vortec distributor (with 8 spark plug wires) ?

I don't know for certain, but I had thought that to use a Vortec distributor to fire the cylinders, you had to use the Vortec 4x CKP system, and if you switched to a 24x CKP system you then had to use the coil-per-cylinder system (8 LS coils) to fire the cylinders.

Maybe someone else knows the answer to this ...
You are correct, in order to use the distributer to actually deliver the spark energy, you must use a 4x CKP reluctor and the distributers 1x signal along with the calibration file from a 2001-2002 van that had the L31 350 engine and 0411 PCM.

To actually run CNP you use the 24 CKP reluctor, Vortec distributer for the 1x CMP signal. For cable throttle, use a Camaro LS1 calibration in the 512kb calibration, for ETC(Electronic Throttle Control) use a Corvette calibration in the 512kb PCM.
