LT1-LT4 Modifications - Installed new opti and now car won't start

Good morning,

I'm new here. I have a 95 Z28 Camaro. It's automatic and stock. Boring I know.

Yesterday, after 14 long hours of disassembling the car and putting a new opti on and reinstalling everything, I go to start the car, and it just kept cranking and cranking. I hit the gas and the interior lights dimmed and blew fuel out of my intake and smoked.

What did I do wrong?????

I am currently taking everything back apart and tying again. I used this link:

To do it.

If anyone has pictures or a diagram or anything that could be remotely helpful, that would be great!!!

At this point, I'm considering getting a Honda. :mad:

Did you check the firing order? all connections were right, etc?

I labeled them all when I took them off and put them on the exact same way. I really have no idea what went wrong

So, I have "all" of my coolant drained from the radiator and from all but one of the hoses to the water pump. I put in like a gallon and a half of coolant yesterday, the car wouldnt even start, and there was none on the ground, but I only have maybe a half a gal of coolant collected. Please tell me it isn't all in my water pump about to dump all over my opti...

When i did mine, i had my ignition wire loose, and the battery had died. Did it overheat or throw any codes?
