Your distributor (Optispark) is on the front of the engine, under the water pump.

You will learn to hate that distributor probly.

As every LT1 owner should

Contrary to popular vote I recommend the MSD cap and rotor. Why you ask...
they have a one year warranty!! Couple that with a back half from auto zone or o'reilly's and you have a one year warranty. I've replaced both twice now and have only bought it once!!

Genuine GM optis have a one year warranty, as well.

hosspwr94

really? what do they cost? I always thought they cost a fortune.
for me the msd c&r kit 156.00 and the back half was 120.00 so I was only out about 280.00 total.

shoebox

Like anything else, the cost varies by where it is purchased.

Current GM wholesale on a vented opti is $297.16
Non-vented is $350.55
Plus this is brand new-not remanufactured like an auto parts store "back half" is.
Most all new GM parts have a one year warranty.

Actually, Rob/Shoebox is the guy with the answers......
