i have a 93 z28 lt1 and i am in the process of replacing the distributor.

Tips-seperate the bolts into labled baggies for future reference. I did not lift my camaro but you will have to swueeze under the car.

1)locate the water pump directly in the center of the body work under the hood. It will be in between the fans connected to the radiator and the actual engine.

2)it will be easiest to take out the fans by the radiator. they will be made of plastic and there will be two. there are one wire connected to each of the fans. then you can yank it out the top. the tube running from the engine to the radiator on the right side is directly above the water pump so take that out.

3) disconnect any and all tubes connected to the water pump and unscrew the 6 bolts connecting it into the engine. three on each side. these screws will be about 5 or 6 inches long but the threading is only about an inch. there will be two screws that are smaller in length that will leak the antifreeze. this can be very helpful. Then the water pump should come right off.

4)the distributer is a flat(ish) peice just below it with the spark plug wires connected to it. probably covered in oil. unplug the plugs on the side. mine had eight and they all slid right out.

~one of the hardest parts was to loosen the gear or pully right in front of the distributor. you need to loosen it so that you can get to the bolts connecting the distributor to the engine. There are three bolts. two on the top and one on the side of the pully.

5)to loosen the pulley, unscrew the other three bolts on the pully itself. then pry the gear into a stable position by wedging a metal rebar or something. after it is secure, unscrew the middle screw. This will be very tough.

6)pry the pully out about 2 inches. it doesnt need to come all the way off. This will give you room to get the three bolts out of the distributor explained in the "~" section.The lowere bolt was absolutly dreadful. maybe mine was just oily and stripped.

7) Putting on the peices is hopefully the easy part. just put everything on the same way you took it off. like a puzzle. It took about 7 hours total with the help of a friend. i was there for support.
