I would either do one of 2 things
1) buy the vented opti spark and just wrap it up in a plastic grogery bag when washing the engine.
2) Get the coil pack conversion for the LT1 and never worry about the opti-crap ever again.

you can get them from places like Jegs or Summit racing, mainly any place that has LT1 stuff will supply those. Cost is ???? Call them, they are most likey on sale being that x-mas is around the corner.

You NEVER powerwash an LT1 engine bay. Just clean it section by section by hand.

Looks like this:
Also, on top of not powerwashing, don't get the undercarriage spray in drive in carwashes, you'll probably die on the way in if you get them.
