TurboSS - Was the rotor loose on that opti?

I have a new MSD Pro-Billet cap and rotor I am going to use with my install... I have one of the original MSD cap and rotors still on. Some have reported issues with the screws coming loose on the rotors, and the rotor rubbing on the housing on the MSD's. I haven't had a problem yet.

I really thought I could find more threads, but so far this is the closest one, but he is using a T70 instead of a T76.

Do yourself a favor and get a used POS LT1 even if its dead.
Throw it on a stand and start maching things up on the stand.
Put every damm thing you can on the mach up motor.
Once it gets in the car your kinda screwed.

I completly dressed the motor on the stand including the K member.
Slid the whole shabang under the car and used the lift to drop the shell on the K. Then I litterly used a rubber mallet to tap the K into place via hitting the engine stand. Tand the K bolts in and was good to go in like 20 minutes.

Took forever to dress the motor and prep the shell! but only 20 minutes to pop it in the car. Then the nightmare of doing all the pluming began

It probably would have helped if I posted the link!!!

I would try NGK TR6s gapped at .035.

Colder plug and less gap for higher cylinder pressures.
