hey bro i am on the army comp right now and IM is blocked for national security reasons

Is the Distributor/opti ?? or no? because that came in the kit for 120 dollars it had everything shown but the hard aluminum casing that everything rests in

 

yes you got the complete opti now that i see the pic just bolt it up bro i thought you meant you just got the cap all the crap you seen on that page is what is inside there i took mine apart also ....but you are good to go bro

 

now i have a 94' and this is for a 97 this will still work right? is there a page with the upgrade what i will need?

 

where did you get that for 120? dayum that is cheap i priced the gm parts and it was like 280 so i bought the dynatech hp for close to 600

 

i am not sure what it entails i have a 94 unvented as well

 

my educated guess is that you can either make a vacum tube and hook it up or just block it off if you make a tube i belive you can run it to tha cai

 

I need more people to help out i heard you have to get a new timing cover, new timing chain water pump gaskets harness.. What am i getting my self into

 

yeah I was trying to help everyone out buy posting that WELLS DR2026 for 119.99 is the full kit but no one cares

But its for the 97 as they say at autozone

 

oh yes you will need the wp gaskets actually you should replace the pump while you got it out also if you got high miles i would replace the timing chain and gears but not the cover just the gasket as far as i know unless with the vented style there is a different cover but i dunno

 

The timing cover is different, the cam gear on the timing set is different, the optispark is different, and there is a crank trigger on the 95 and up.

 

thats what i thought hey thanks for the backup bro ...iheard that before but i wasnt sure about it i didnt want to post junk info

 

Following the posts after this one, looks like people are confused. You said what you got did not come with the aluminum housing of the opti. So, it is not a complete opti (though your pic shows the aluminum part of the opti-more confusion). I assume you just got a cap and rotor. If you are going to put that on a 1994, just plug the vacuum port like I mentioned before. There is nothing else you have to do.

If you indeed got a complete vented opti, you will have to spend much more money to adapt it to your 1994.

Could some of you who have correctly diagnosed a bad opti tell me what symptoms it has. I have had burnt wires before, but my misfirings now are more erratic now. I had first thought it was a bad tank of gas, but a couple of tanks later I'm sure that it isn't.

I also inspected around the engine at night and notice small (faint, but definitely there) sparks coming from in front of the wire boot that plugs into the opti. Has anyone seen this before?

I'm going to unplug the other wires and double check the back ones for burn marks tonight.
