Question optispark

Can anyone tell me where i can find the inverted torx socket to take apart my optispark? Also, do new cap and rotor kits come with the socket? I'm working on a 93 trans am A4 118k all stock, just replaced both head gaskets due to coolant leak. Drove for a few days with no problem, then quit firing. Thanks for any and all help

Re: optispark

Take one of the throttle body cover plate screws (T15) out. Wrap the threads in tape to protect them. Put the screw in a pair of vise grips and use it like a socket.... works fine.

Snap-On carries the E4 socket if you wuold prefer that route.

Do you mean it lost spark or quit running? Have you done any testing? Before you go ripping it apart.
