Im rebuilding a 383 LT1 and the opti that came on it is a little busted up and the one on my 95 camaro is fairly new so i plan on using it and i need to know if the timing covers are different cause if im not mistaken ive read that some opti are driven by the cam pin but the one that came on the 383 i have is driven by a little pin that goes through the cover into the cam gear. Will i need the cover off my 95 also? I have no clue what the 95 even looks like and im thinkin the 383 was from a 94 so i dont know what differences there are.

wow thats exactly what i needed lol thanks! One last question. Can i keep the the timing gear and chain from my 383 and use the cam gear from my 95? Should work right?

 

There are 3 different covers, although the years listed are confusing, because the photo below covers the Y- and B- Bodys, as well, and the B-Body got the vented Opti in 94.
