Need help.

I just replaced the optispark and water pump on my 92. I didn’t force anything, all the spindles lined up and teeth lined up, the plugs were put in the right order, serpentine belt was put on correctly, battery is brand new, new gaskets, new coolant, etc. and I get this. I got a little smoke coming into my cabin when I first tried starting it, it doesn’t do it now. I’ve unhooked the battery until I get this situated. I just need help figuring this out. It started and drove before I replaced everything as well. Idk what I did wrong but I just need this stupid ass car to work.

Battery issues

I bought a brand new battery for my 1992 c4, had it for about a week. I’m currently replacing the optispark, and it doesn’t run. All the accessories in the car worked last night, I go to open the hatch today and it doesn’t work. As well as all the accessories in the car. I’ve had battery issues with my previous corvettes but I just can’t figure it out this time. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

Broke my battery fender :(

I put in a new battery yesterday, and apparently the panel gap was too short…I opened my door about 15 times, but the 16th did it apparently lol. I opened it and it snapped. Gotta spend $250 for a new one.

This is a long rant. So rq let me give some background. I have a friend of mine who we’ll call J. So me and J have been friends for about a year now. We met through an app and we actually started talking talking, after a lil we started long distance dating…for about 3 months. So after a lil bit of us dating I was going through things emotionally, a lot was happening in my life and I felt like I was dragging him down with it. And I eventually broke up with him. He took it well and we stayed friends for about a month after the breakup. I got an irl bf while me and J were friends, because after all the emotional stuff started fading I fell for another guy 😐 so while I was dating my irl bf who we’ll call “love boming mf” i got a message from J, it said something along the lines of “I don’t feel comfortable with us just being friends after everything that happened between us, and tbh I still have feelings and it feels weird” or something like that. So, another month goes by. In mid October while I was in the car with love bombing mf, I got a insta dm. I looked and it was from J. I’ll copy paste what he said ⬇️

“Im sorry alex, I’m sorry for everything. I just want to tell you that i hope youre mom gets better, that school goes well, that you learn to love yourself because u deserve it, that u enjoy senior year, and find the perfect someone for you. I understand that you probally dont wont to hear from me but i just needed to tell you these things. I hope you have a great wonderful life and to just know that i will always cherish and keep the memories we made, even if they were for a little while.
Sincerly, J

So I was quite surprised to say the least when I read that. So, I respond to him. We started talking again. We became better friends. And after a couple months of me and J being friends, me and love boming mf broke up. After the breakup me and J got very close. I re added him on snap, and we called for the first time in like 4-5 months, and it was nice. So for the past 4 months we’ve been getting closer and closer and closer. Calling every night, falling asleep on call, very obvious flirting, having deep talks, fun talks, playing video games, etc. I got feelings for him again because of it all. Very strong feelings…but, the last two weeks he’s been rly off. He never initiates anymore, doesn’t talk to much, he rarely asks to call, our convos are super dry and quiet, I’m putting in all the effort atp. And it hurts because of this crush I have or “had” on him. It feels like he doesn’t want to talk to me, or just blatantly doesn’t care anymore. It just hurts. Idk if he’s talking to someone else, is bored of me, whatever. And tbh, this is my final straw with love. I’m 18, and I’ve dated probably 8 people. And every one of them has ended in hurt, heartbreak, etc. atp I don’t believe in love. My last ex promised so much, tried to prove how much he loved me, promised to stay, promised to build us up instead of down. And guess what, he cheated then broke up with me. Shocker. I hate men so much. And I hate love. It feels like it never works out for me, and it doesn’t. I swear, every guy I’ve met if a self loathing love bombing emotionally unstable piece of shit. And I’m tired of it. Sry for the rant, I literally have no one to tell all this to rn. What should I do about J? What should I do in general.
