    I use wet rags to afraid to use a hose for fear of fucking up the electrics, carb cleaner gets rid of some grime though I wouldn't reccomend that on paint.

    Don't spray or pour water if you have an LT1, it will fry the Optispark.

    Oh god, sorry. Yeah, that is true. Sorry I told you to use a hose or anything there.

    LS1s are okay with it but, the LT is sensitive to water around the optispark.

    Let it dry and start the car up if it runs fine then you didn't screw it up-didn't we already tell you not to use the hose?

    Ok, the car is fine but I did it before you all told me not to! Either way, everything is just fine.

    I think it was my fault. I told you that without looking to see what type motor you had.

    Sorry bro. Hope all is well.
