I just had to replace the distributor in my '01 4.3L due to this same thing. 4 of the teeth on the distributor stripped off and the engine wouldn't start. I just replaced the distributor and prayed that the cam gears weren't stripped also. So far so good and that was about 10,000 miles ago.
Sorry, don't really want to buy anything, just thought I would relate that in case you were interested in fixing the motor.
