LT1 distributor cap? Does anyone make a distibutor cap for an LT1? I remember seeing an MSD add a few years back for one and a friend of mine called them and they seemed to not know anything about it. I am looking for one for a buddy who wants one but if not he is gunna have to go with a delco.

Are you talking about not using the opti anymore. I have seen a few guys use a distributor before. You have to cut the back of your intake and you need a cam that will work with it. I also saw in the summit racing mag that they had a carb intake, That intake may have a spot for a distributor.

Are you talking about a rotor? The rotors are replaceable on the opti's, but I've never heard or seen any kind of a "cap" to replace.

I bought a cap and rotor new from the local parts store for mine. I bought a reuilt Opti and it was only the main piece. I was able to locate a cap and rotor at another store. However, I do not know of anything aftermarket. I don't think it even matters really.

Sorry I took soo long to reply. Yeah I was just talking about putting a new cap on, he has already bought a new optispark-- what I call a distributor and pretty much is one.
I just would have sworn that I saw a magazine add about msd making one a year or two ago.

Verdad Gallardo I prefer to call it the opti-**** but a distributor is a distributor. 
Say, if they make a front mount distributor and change it's name, then why do they change to a cam driven water pump from the belt drive and it still gets to be called a waterpump?
