I am seeking a reliable Optispark for my 96 LT4 Corvette. Can anyone recommend one of the lower-cost units as being reliable ?
Also, do you see any issue in pressure washing the engine before I install the new opti? It’s quite a mess in the front part of the engine. Tks!
My understanding was that the 96 Opti was finally vented effectively and was supposed to correct reliability issues? Of coarse if the seals are old/dried or worn that means nothing...
Thank you very much Ted for all your advice & assistance! I’m about to contact Spectra Premium Re: Opti—wondering if your brother’s is still working ok? Thanks again!
Hi Ted; I ordered the new Spectra Opti, should have it by Friday. As well as vacuum testing it, do you suggest I test the electrical output on it it by plugging it into the car’s electrical, also hooking up a spark plug to a plug wire, turning the car’s ignition to on, and then spinning the new opti with a drill, grounding the plug to cast manifold, & watching the sort of spark the new opti produces before going to all the work of installing it on the car only to find out it’s defective?
