what is a opti

 

The OptiSpark is the front-mounted ignition distributor on an LT1 engine. They either wear out, or get damaged when they get wet, even from a from drips off the weep holes of the water pump, which is directly above the distributor.

Some last close to 200K miles, others fail in a few thousand. One caution - do not under any circumstances attempt to wash down, pressure wash or steam clean the engine. That may cause almost instantaneous destruction of the Opti.
