Ok so I just replaced my timing chain cover seals, DID NOT remove timing chain cover. But cleaned out opti just to check it I put it all back together and nothing but a couple pops. I think the motor may have gotten turned while pulling the balancer hub. How do I realign my opti? The flat part of the spline gear lined up what am I missing?

 

1994 Trans Am LT1

 

You can only line the Opti up one way. As long as it is fully seated you pretty much can't mess it up.

 

plenty of people have misaligned the opti drives of both styles even though they "should" only go on one way.

Turning the motor over while the opti is off makes no difference whatsoever.

 

I alighted the wide grove on the spline. What could it be? I did replace plug wires anyone have a 94 LT1 fire order pic opti and motor to cross reference?

 

shbox.com will have just bout anything and everything when it comes to lt1, i know he has a pic on there of the wire order, always do one at a time so you know its right!

 

 

I agree check the firing order.
Also check the wring harness, I once had a female pin push too far up in the weatherpak and the car wouldn't start for 2 days till I found that.

 

Well got it, Guess you can put it on wrong don't know how but tore it all back down and put it back on fired right up,Thanks Guys
