Default 1997 lt1 Camaro no spark

1997 camaro lt1 has no spark at spark plug. Prior to that I replaced both head gaskets and optispark along with coil and still have no spark after assembly. Can somebody point me in right direction as to how to go about this.

Try to get an ignition tester from any auto store. You plug one end into the spark plug and the other end into the plug wire. These testers have a clear cylinder that shows you spark traveling through indicating you have spark. There are two areas you need to test, spark from the optispark to the plug and spark from the ignition coil to the optispark. If there is no spark to your plugs from the optispark then your optispark is likely the problem and if you have spark from the ignition coil to the optispark then you have a very good idea where the problem is. I hope this helps and I too am in Optispark hell as mine is now showing signs it is defective... I am posting my question after this one.

Most likely something simple.
