Todays Project - What did you do today?

And speaking of water pumps, GM in all their infinite wisdom decided that it would be ok on the LT1 Camaros and Firebirds, to mount the distributor (Optispark) on the crankshaft behind the water pump. To get to it you had to remove the belt tensioner and belt, cooling fans, air pump, crankshaft balancer radiator hoses and water pump. THEN you could remove the opti. To make matters worse, the Optispark contains both the low voltage spark triggering system as well as the high voltage secondary circuit IN THE SAME ENCLOSURE. Add a little moisture (hmmm...where might that come from?) and it'll cost you $400 and a Saturday in labor.
