    Dexcool question....

    I boiled over my 96. I started a thread other than this one but have an interesting question. If it boils over or overheats does the dexcool coolent (red stuff) gum up? Would it cause damage to the cooling fins in the rad or heater core?? Please help:)

    Dist./Opti-spark

    A stupid question..... is the distributor and the opti spark the same thing? I am in the process of replacing the water pump (see my other post) and thought about replacing the opti spark and/or distributor. So before I go costing out all of the above thought I should be educated.
