Optispark change
So I'm getting ready to order parts for a water pump/optispark change. I searched around and can't find a list of what else I should change such as any seals or drive shafts(?) to change. I'd like to get all I might need the first time, any suggestions?? My vette is a 96, LT-4

A timing cover kit will have all the seals and gaskets. Search the archive for the tips & tricks on replacing the water pump seal and the crank seal. I did mine last weekend. I didn't do the crank seal because I didn't have the right puller and was concerned that I might screw it up. Well - it still leaks so next rainy weekend it all comes apart again. But.......... cap, rotor, wires, plugs, timing cover kit, hoses, gasket sealer, di-electric grease, engine degreaser, simple green, anit sieze compound...........thats about it
