how to get rid of the opti an put in distrib. does any know how to get rid of the opti spark and get a reg. distrib. i know that i would have to get a new timing cover and cam, have any done this yet if so plz tell me your results?
Well sofar you know noting because the timing cover and cam are just fine, GM even sells a plug for the timing cover for when people put carbed intakes on LT1s.
What are your goals?
Looking to overcomplicate a simple thing?
Looking to take a step backwards?
Looking to prove the internet has more bad info than good and convinces folks good parts are bad?
With 10 minutes worth of effort the completely stock opti can be made very reliable even at rpms in excess of what our pcms can handle and it is more accurate than a rear mounted unit.

well i hear a lot of things bout the opti and how they can suck or they are ok an i would like to upgrade my igition, and knowing everytimr i go get in my car that its goin to start not have the opti die on me. i know lt1s ignitions suck
Don't listen to him. He's a sarcastic douche. There are some options to eliminate the cap and rotor, do a search on Dynaspark, or Delteq, or Bailey's LTCC system. These don't necessarily eliminate the optical sensor, but they do alleviate alot of the stress of having an opti.
Delteq is dead, troublesome and the company has basically folded since the owner became ill.
Pop rivet the rotor and seal the cap/wiring and it will last very well at high rpms.
If Delteq or LTCC "fix" an opti problem it was just in need of a $100 cap and rotor, but the folks who spend $600 on fancy work arounds swear it was worth it. Then again maybe they are comparing to old worn out parts??
