Default CNP kits?

It's been a long time since I've owned or worked on an LT. My brother is considering buying a 1996 Fleetwood Brougham.

After all this time, does anybody offer a kit or method to replace the Optispark with a LS style ignition system that retains the original ECM?

Thanks shakenfake.

If the thread you're talking about is How much Power will this get Me, the only mention of ignition is "I have also heard that switching it to an LS1 style ignition system is actually better."

If you're referring to another thread, please say or link which one.

Thanks, pretty cool stuff but I'm looking for a CNP system that retains the stock 1996 LT1 ECM.

I see the LTCC is still on the market, I suppose it's been perfected since it first came out and I tried it. I was hoping there was a competing product on the market today.

Ah misread OP. I read it as changes to an LS PCM. D’oh!

None that I know of when sticking to LT1 ECM except LTCC and Delteq. I'm running the 4-coil Delteq setup with the MSD DIS-4 ignition and factory LT1 ECM.

Thanks Randy.

I think Delteq is no longer in business.

If my brother gets the car and wants to upgrade, we'll do the LTCC.

yep, I have a kit with a lot of spare parts. I’ll keep this running until I either do the faceplate/torqhead LS setup or just go full LS motor eventually.

Get this and it doesn't matter if they are in business or not, you'll have enough hardware and spares and replacements and MSD gear to last a 4th-gen forever.
