Be sure to replace it with a Delco. All the other ones suck.

I got the AC Delco opti and water pump. I don't want to have to do it twice. I'm glad I just got my tax refund. lol

These opti's are amazing works of art, I don't know what you guys are talking about.

They were quite the innovative product

Make a little metal ramp to put under the weep hole. That way when the pump goes out the water doesn't drip right onto the opti. After killing my second one I did the 24x conversion. Still two in 7 years wasn't a bad run.
