Default 1992 LT1 optispark install

Will post picts of old one when I can. A wonder that it ran at all as you will see. Water pump and old are out. Have new vented one to put in, along with new water pump, plugs, plug wires, the whole 9 yards. Petris kit gives it all!! Nice folks too. One stop shop, love it. Anyhow anything to be aware so we don't skew anything up. Any advise will be accepted with thanks.

Take your time lining up the little splined shaft. The rest should be down hill.

Do not see new seals for the opti and pump pull both side knocks. And a nipple and hose for the pump. If the opti still worked save it. good time to clean it up. Locktight the rotor and cap a bit of sealant on the cap.

if your spark plug wires aren't numbered, definately pay attention reinstalling them. It is very easy to get them mixed up.
