I was wondering if there was anyone in the Indianapolis (surrounding states are fine too) that is good with wiring, I have an LT1 swaped into an 83 malibu wagon and it isnt getting spark, new opti, coil and painless harness and still dosent work. Id really like to get someone to finish it up.

The early Optis used a "short" plug into the dist and the laters were about an 1 1/2" longer, make sure you dont have a short plug plugged into a "long" dist!Other than that I dont have any suggestions. HTHs......... Bill
