after reading post on here, I put some pentrating spray on the bolts, after they where off, i had to use some wood and a hammer, and from under the car I carefully tapped it off. I did have to rotate the pully so I'll have to find tdc, but that won't be a problem. I had to do the same thing on my 95 z.

Actually you don't have to find TDC, the pulley will only go on the hub one way, the bolt spacing is not equal and there is an arrow on the pulley and hub to line them up. The distributor will also go on only one way.

The funnest part of this job by far is the wires...........

I had a lot of trouble getting the stupid #8 plug in, I had no trouble getting it out but putting it in is a pain. tdc is just something I do just to make sure it will fire. I dosent take that long and is kinda cool. Running the driver side wires is a pain.

ARROW???

Now ya' tell me!!! I got one bolt started in mine, and had NO CLUE why the second or third would not match up.

Nice PCM. '95 huh? Did you know they'll swap with '94's? Wanna' sell yours?
