lt1 wont start but it blows sparks

i have a 97 lt1 formula that i had some problems with about 2 months ago and found it to be the rotor in the opti cam lose and exploded i replaced opti and coil and ignition module with all brand new gm car ran great drove it to in from work for a couple weeks and found out i hade to sell it to pay bills. so its been sitting and then the other day i went to drive it to my parents to sitt it for fall carlise and when i whent to do a little last burn out it shut off
i have fuel and i have spark at the coil but none at the plugs and also the coil to opti wire arks like craz i made another test wire out or a set of wires and it did the same thing what would make it ark like that


DO I NEED ANOTHER OPTI ???????

Maybe a crack in the coil tower part of the opti? Can you see where the arch is coming from precisely?
