how do you tell if the optispark distributor is for the older or newer lt1 with out takeing it off?? the newer one has a vent?.reason i just got a miss on one cylinder, i figure for the worst case sanerio.also how are the wires run,the looms seem to be missing.zip ties the plug wires to other things,


Dont skip the simple stuff first. Alot of people tend to blame the opti right off the bat. Check your wires first for cracks. Start the car in the dark & look for the spark arcing to ground. You mention theres missing wire looms/keepers......this may be where the wire jackets wore through and are arcing to ground. Pull the plugs if you can & look at those too. How many miles on them? Do you know which cylinder is missing?

On another note, the worst case scenario being the opti, the job isnt that hard & its not a huge deal really. What sucked the most was running the wires back in their original locations. That took the longest if I remember correctly.
