I've been looking around on the net and the more I read I think this TFI is the culprit.
Could I get my buddies distributor out of his car (89 5.0), plug it into mine and if it starts that would mean it's the problem, right?
TMOSS, is that Lake of the Ozarks? I loved that place when I was at Ft Leonard Wood... Party cove baby!

AutoZone and other places sell the special socket tool just for the TFI for a few bucks - I bought one and keep it in the spare TFI box I carry in the car. Yes you could trade distributors, but I'd just get the tool since you may need it later anyway.
Good eye - yes that is Lake of the Ozarks, and we were headed to party cove just after those shots were taken.
