    You most likely wouldn't smell fuel when it's a bad pump right? Maybe he didn't really smell gas or am I wrong? (just trying to improve my own diagnostic skills..)

    I had a similar issue with a 5.7 chevy truck not starting, after running rough for a few days, stalling etc..
    Turned out to be a corroded distributor. It was so bad chunks of the reluctor, (I think it was), were falling out when I pulled the cap off. I gather GM don't vent the cap area, and condensation over the years, finally takes it's toll.
