LT1 Timing Cover Seals - Part Numbers?
I am in the process of replacing the optispark and waterpump on my 92 Corvette. From what I have seen in searching the archives on here I want to replace the water pump drive shaft seal and the optispark drive seal in the timing cover. When picking up parts at my trusty ACDelco dealer today, they were not able to find part numbers for either of these two seals to be able to replace them.
Anyone have a manufacturer and part number for these two seals so that I can hunt them down?

A search here should find the part numbers.
I know when I did mine 4 years ago the dealer was able to look up the part number and get it for me.

Water pump to block gaskets 10128343 (2 req'd)
Hope this helps

Your local auto parts sell a kit with all parts needed for the timing cover rebuilt.

tool for seals
you can use a marker cap from just about any colored marker to place over the splines of the distributor splined shaft (non vented opti) or the water pump drive shaft, that will help get the smaller seals installed.
the larger seals may take a bit of thinking, perhaps a larger piece of PVC to drive the seal into the timing cover. I don't have a part number for the real tools, but the set usually runs $90-150 on ebay, but unless you do alot of these, not cost effective.
Have a good one!
