Optispark help
Did some work on my 93 and had to replace the optispark I'm pretty sure I read that you can just remove it without the #1 being up. I need a for sure answer before I put this thing back together because I don't want to screw myself. Can someone please give me a for sure answer please?

After you get the distributor installed and all of the wires connected to it, fire up the engine for a few seconds to verify a smooth idle before you re-install everything else. If something's not right, now's the time to find out. Running for a few seconds without coolant won't hurt the engine.

I just replaced my opti and this saved me a lot of time. Found a slight issue on the initial start-up and I was able to fix it without having to pull the water pump back off.
