my water pump leaked where it sealed to the block, and it ran down onto the opti then dripped down my wires, maybe this is what yours is doin..... if it is i dont think you will be able to see it, the water pump where it bolts to the block is back in there and hid pretty good

 

u can put some high temp rvt on the o ring that seals the opti cap and use some electric grease on the plugwire ends and opti plugs.

 

Any thoughts on going with an electric pump?

 

So I did the opti and water pump and it runs much better. I only made one bonehead mistake. I forgot to mark the harmonic balancer when I took it off. So I think it's not on right now cuz it feels a little off. Is there an easy way to get it right other than pulling it, rotating it, starting it, and repeating till it seems right? Thanlks again guys.

 

Yeah, line up the big fat arrow on the pulley with the mark on the hub.

 

I didn't see a mark on the hub. Where and what might it look like. Thanks again.
