You may want to ask a moderator to move your topic out of Gen IV since it refers to Gen IV engines and not F-Bodies. Down in to the LT1 section of forum for a little more exposure to members that will have more experience. That being said, the OptiSpark in LT1 cars are notorious for going bad. Your car's symptoms sound like this could be the problem and Summit offers several Optispark II Distributors for a 95 Carmaro Z28. The MSD units are a good solution to prevent future failures.

We only mentioned the first part of that post so the LT-1 members would see his post and did not mean it in a scolding tone. That being said were you able to diagnose the ignition problem Camarozssclone?
