That VIN says it's a 97 with a 5.7, made in Canada.

Don't confuse turning that distributor with setting timing. It does not. The timing is predetermined and moving the distributor only takes the primary and secondary ignition out of synch with each other along with the injectors.

I looked at acdelco cam sensor. Blazer 95--05, Silverado 1500 99--06, same cam sensor according to the online parts book. You can get cam sensor connector with pig tail wires from same online parts book. Just look at them, find the connector you need. I site is rock auto.
