opti spark rotor alignment
Hey to all!!!! This is my 1st post on the forum. I have a 1996 lt1 and I am in the process of replacing the opti spark. All went as planned when taking it off. It took me about 1.5 hours to get it out of the car. Problem is now for the re-install. I did not mark the alignment of the rotor button as I took the old one off. So therefore I do not know where to position it when I put the new one back on. There are 3 positions that are available. Anyone know which one is the correct one or how to figure out which one is correct.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!!

It will only fit one way. You have to align the dowl pin coming from the front of the cam to the slot shown in this picture. Get a flashlight and a mirror to see how the dowel pin is aligned and turn your opti to amtch. You may have to play around awhile before the Opti "snaps" into place :
and her is what the cam alignment dowel pin looks like:

I am not sure of the Torques spec for the Opti, but snug it down good....but no king kong'ing it...
Same goes for your WP.....30 ft/lbs torque
