Aha! That's why I wasn't finding it - I was looking under electrical and diagrams. Thanks again, sir! Will be sending a donation your way next week as a token of appreciation for how much help your site has been.

This maybe a stupid question but...what goes in the un-numbered port at the top of the opti?

It looks like the other sparkplug wire ports, but it doesn't have a cylinder number on it. Does that connect to the coil with a standard sparkplug wire?

Thanks

Yeah that's for the coil. It's very similar to a regular spark wire but much shorter.

thanks!

Do you also happen to have a pictures of all the necessary coil / ICM connections? Right now, I can't find a pic of it anywhere. On shoebox's site, I there is one showing 2 connections, one for the coil and one for the ICM. But it doesn't show the sparkplug wire that goes to the opti connected.

I want to know if there are others that I'm missing.

Those are your only three - the two engine harness connections for the ICM and coil, and then the spark wire from the optispark to the coil.

LOL, don't you ever see all the threads where people index them wrong? It's pretty common.

I'm one of the 10%. I have no hard feelings about the mistaken install - I lined it up, pushed it on, wiggled it back and forth a bit, somewhere in there the rotor spun and it indexed wrong.
