Opti replacement
Opti replacement My accel junkti-spark has basically gone out and im doing a swap to a delphi soon. Does anybody have a link or anything of that matter to some detailed instructions of opti replacement? Ive been hearing alot about using RTV silicone and such, im new to LT1's and this will be my first opti swap. Unfortunalty my lift needs a new motor so the car will be up on jackstands. Thanks
if you buy a whole unit distributor, and not just a cap and rotor then you shouldn't have to deal with any silicone or anything. www.lt1engine.com has a simple write up on the install though..

i used RTV for the new water pump installation, and assembly lube on the Opti cam shaft, i put the two black rubber rings in hot water for a few minutes to loosen them up and make sure to align the notch correctly(A) with the cam shaft pin(C). i did a few test fits prior to final installation...
