Default Question about AC Delco Cap and Rotor Kit

Does the OE AC Delco kit(part# D8103)have the four leads in the cover for the opti harness or is that part of the actual distributor???

That's part of the distributor housing itself- the hi and lo resolution signal pins. Are you getting an SES light, maybe a stored code? Just wondering...

I figured it was part of the optical sensor. The contacts are slightly corroded and I keep blasting them w/contact cleaner then the car will run but will stall out eventually. Then when I take the plug out and clean the contacts again it will run for a bit. I have done this about ten times now and its getting pretty f'n old. Now I am undecided whether I should do a Cap and Rotor Kit and clean the leads real good while I have it apart,or do I just buy a whole new Delco Optispark. Again my problem only seems to be the contacts and cash is pretty tight.

After spraying them with that much cleaner, I would replace the entire thing.

You'll probably see a lot of crud like it inside once you get the dist. off and look inside. Not worth putting back on the car once it gets good and corroded. Morbid curiosity asks that you post a pic when you get it off.
