I already have a poly trans mount installed. I'm not worried about a dent but I'm sure that would happen as it's already slightly touching. I really don't want it to clunk or rattle.

Change the torque arm mount bushing to poly as well. The stock piece is typically dry rotted in a 25 year old car.

Supporting Memberuse a piece of wood and jack the y pipe up against it to "clearance" it.
for relocation crossmembers and torque arms i always run umi. never had a fit issue
as for the xs headers, we actually had a set on the procharged car, and they always hit the steering shaft no matter what, y pipe never fit right, flange was warped on the drivers side out of the box, ended up getting rid of them and buying summit headers which are pacesetters and have no issues now

Okay, I got the car started today. It ran for a couple of minutes and then popped a code 16 and 42 and died. Does anyone know where to get an opti of decent quality?

This is the only product I have not seen a negative report about.
https://petrisenterprises.com/
What's on there now? Have you tried to restart? There is someone who repairs the optical modules, and seems to be getting positive feedback. I'll see if I can find the link.

I've seen this reference on CZ28.com with no negative info posted.

I have no personal experience with either of the above. Mostly based on posts on CamaroZ28.com which I've been moderating for 20+ years.

I did find a reman ac Delco unit for $285 with a $75 core. I'll try that first. I did try to restart but it seems like there is no spark. I already checked the harness and that was good. I had replaced the cap and rotor during my rebuild and cleaned some oil from out of the optical side. I'm wishing I never touched it.

I also broke the clutch slave cylinder casing. I bolted it on, pressed the clutch pedal too hard, it was solid and then went to the floor. I found the fork slightly pulled out and jammed towards the front. It's there a trick to get the fork engaged properly? I was pretty sure it was in correctly but it obviously was not.

Well, you can officially put me on the jump to the opti bandwagon. I pulled the opti off today, I found the dowel pin sucked into the cam with 0.500" extended. That's not how I installed it but I thought it was tight enough for the red loctite to not let it move in more. It obviously did move.

I started the car after putting in a longer dowel. It started perfect. I then reinstalled the water pump and fans and radiator and it won't start again.
