HI! I am new and trying to learn my way around this site. I have a 96 LT1 and having some issues. I replaced timing chain cover gaskets due to oil leak. Put it all back together and now the car wont start. Did i mess up mu opti spark? WHat is the correct way to install it? Or are there any other things i might check. The car ran fine before i replaced the gasket.......

 

Welcome to the board. Please check the tech areas. There are many potential issues surrounding the opti.

Good to see another LT1 on the site, even if you are having problems. Shoebox has the best collection of LT1 info on the planet:

Are you sure you got the cam dowel pin in the correct hole on the back of the Opti? While most people seem to believe its not possible, it seems like maybe 10% of the installs are not done correctly.

As noted above, the LT1 Based Engine Tech forum is the place to post problems like this.
