Are you guys talking about the "ignition module", the part that sits under the coil pack? Or are you talking about the Del-Tec "ignition controller" or "opti-box", the part that has the red LED? Thanks, Douglas

 

Most likely your ICM. Under coil.

 

The delteq "ignition controller"/ "opti-box". Look at the picture I posted on the first page.

 

Hmmm? Two guys, two different answers? The terminalogy has got me confused because both parts sound almost the same.

#1: The part that sits under the coil pack (that the coils themselves plug into and mounts on top of the valve cover) is a General Motors part.

#2: The part that has the red LED (mounts on the front of the engine uses the same two studs as the factory coil) is a Del-Tec manufactured part.

Are you guy's issues with part #1 or #2?

Thanks, Douglas

PS: ssbowtie, in your post #14, I do not see a pic on my screen. I'm guessing that's where you put a picture you said "here's what I found"

 

It is #2. b4cz2896 was just making a guess. #2 is the part that failed. Its made of cheap plastic that warped from the underhood temps and ruined the circuitry inside.

 

How do you know the circuitry inside is ruined?

 

Thanks ssbowtie, I thought that was the answer. I should have stated up front my dilemma, I have a Del-Tec on my '95 B-body and it failed because the coil pack loosened up and fell off the valve cover and ended up on the exhaust manifold and cooked the ignition module(#1). Before I figured out (after many phone calls) that this part was GM, I found a NIB Del-Tec barebones kit (no coil pack) and I paid $450 for it. After I got the thing I realized by reading the instructions that the part I really needed was a GM part and I got one at a junk yard for $50.

So here I sit with a $450 kit that I don't need, it has the opti-box(#2), serial #RX801. I have a decision to make, keep it or get my money back. Even tho the part has a lifetime gaurantee, with Mr. JC Hyde's current status, I'd prolly never find another one in case I ever needed it.

What would you guys do?

Thanks, Douglas

 

send it back and go LTCC
