Well I finished my car and its runs great.

Check out the link to see what an LT4 looks like with a distributor in place.

 

Awesome Rob! glad it worked out for you. Cant wait to hang this year at the track finally. All bugs are worked out now right?

 

Yeah everything is all set.
I'll be at the track more often this year

 

Thats looks awesome Rob. How much did the conversion cost?

 

MSD dist $225
coil $60
Ignition Box $240

F.A.S.T sytem with wbo2 sensor $2300

 

Watching those LS1's in your rearview mirror: PRICELESS!

theres a few ls1's around that pack a little more punch

 

questions

1.Is the dist removeable with the engine in place.
2.On your site there's some pic's of coils on the back of intake how did you make that or is that a kit from somewhere else.

That is the nicest set-up I've seen.

 

Umm kind of.
The motor stays on the k-memeber but you have to drop the k-member a bit for it to be removed? so six bolts and you can get to it and remove it.
to get the opti-spark off you need to drain coolant take water pump off and balancer off, then get new waterpump gaskets to put a new one on it.

But why would you want to remove it. you can change the cap and rotor with no problem with it in place.

Thats the beauty of this setup.

I love it.

I did have an LS1 coil pack setup on the car at first I didn't like it and the complexity of the system to make it work.

I went old school and went K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

>I don't mean to be noisey ... who am I kidding
What was the price (approx.) for the machine work for the intake manifold to convert it to the old type of distributor ? and did you kick the opti across the street when you fired up the new engine ?

 

I did the machine work myself it cost me $40 to get it welded.
I kick the opti across the street along time ago

 

car is looking good.....where r u having all this fun in worcester can i come play lol..........i cant seem to find anyone around with a camaro...i have 2 buddies with camaros in worcester...all the rest are the pain in the *** mustangs boys..............

 

Hey just curious if you saw any gains from this? Also are you interested in doing another setup..?

 

I'm not sure if you will see an increase of power I haven't had it on the dyno to tune it yet.
But I did put it on the dyno and made a pull just to see if I noticed anything and the hp curve was a lot smoother after 5500 rpm. The opti would start to break up graph so did the ls1 coils after the dist install the curve was real smooth all the way to 6500.
