Ok my car is 86 000miles and its ready for a tune up,i will change all the fluid and probably the power steering unit.I will also install a new msd blaster coil(8226),accel 9000 plug wire(9037),new plug(tr55).

I also got a msd cap and rotor kit(84811) that i want to install.I already know that some of you prefer to change the whole opti unit at the same time but...I already got the cap and rotor and i dont want to spend for a new opti since mine is working perfectly.

I got no money to waste cause like a lot of people im beginning to be a little tight on budget and i want my car to run this year,you can look in my sig,all the stock that you see was bought in less then 6 months.I dont care to do the job twice if my opti fail in 1 year.

Ok now that you got the point here is my questions:

-Do i need to tear everything apart (crank pullye,water pump) to install the cap and rotor?Or can i get away with it?

-I got a clamp block include in my kit and i dont understand the purpose of this small thing and also where and how to install it?

-And since my car is 86 000miles and its the original water pump, could it be a good idea to change it?

Thank you

 

There is no way getting around pulling off the crank pulley and water pump, you *must* do it.

huh?

I'd suggest changing it out or going with an electric water pump at this point. Cost is about the same.

 

The small block that came with the capand rotor kit is supposed like it wrote in the instruction:***the clamp block goes in the cap tab between the wiring harness and the coil wire tower***

So still dont have a clue?

For the rest i will tear everything apart and also gonna change my water pump.

Does a rebuilt one is good or should i buy something like this one:

Just did this job 3 weeks ago
You will need to take the water pump off , air pump ,pullie . The air pump has bolts that go to the water pump, so thats why it needs to come off,as for the pullie well its 3 bolts then you might need some one on top and one on bottom to pry it off then off comes the opti .
I took my opti apart and cleaned it (if you do this just watch out not to bend the disk's inside I used gas worked great. hit me up and I can tell ya step by step if you want 734-347-0586 Thanks Al

 

As for the water pump you can get them on ebay . their is a guy on ebay that sells them that lives up by my job , great guy to deal with you can get it at a good price. He can also sell you one with out the guts if you go elec.
Got one from him this past winter and had a place try to press out the impeller and cracked it . So i called him and he sold me one with out the guts If you go with an elec make sure you have a place weld the drip hole on the water pump.

 

Do you have is name?

 

hit me up on the cell and I'll give you his # Just don't want to post it with getting the ok from him. 734-347-0586 Al

 

Does a rebuilt one can be good???Like this one i found :

Professionally Rebuilt unit and includes new high performance bearing, seal and gasket set price 59.99$ +shipping

Or should i stick with a factory new one?

An electric one but i would like to find one already mounted to the lt1 housing(yeah im kinda fastidious)

 

I just bought and installed a water pump from the same guy off ebay.....pump looks good and is working fine.
