Default Should I Replace ??????????????????

I Have A 94 Which Is Running Great. The Previous Owner Gave Me A Water Pump And A Ac Delco Cap/ Rotor Kit. The Car Has 54k On It Should I Replace These Parts. New Plugs And Wires Were Already Done.

I Was Thinking About Doing The Pump Because It Seems The Easiest And Replacing All The Coolant.

If the WP is original it is a good idea since you are at about the mileage and way past the age when they usually die. If it dies it will likely take the optispark with it.

Cap and rotor is also a good idea. Distributor caps and rotors in general are 30k items. People let them go way too long on the LT1 because they are such a PITA to change.

I'd wait. Some people get 100,000 miles out of the original opti. I replace mine at 60,000 and it still worked fine.

You can wait, but whatever you do, when you replace one, replace them both together.
