    C4 LT1distributor rebuild

    A while back, I recall reading about parts being identified and available to rebuild the C4 LT1 distributor on this board. Can someone point me in the direction of that thread? TIA, John.

    John-----

    Some of the parts (like cap and rotor) are available through NAPA/Echlin. However, I wouldn't "dink around" with trying to rebuild one of these-----they're too much work to install to do that. Generally, the problem involves shutter wheel corrosion or optical sensor clouding. I don't think that parts for either of these maladies are available.

    If it were me, I'd go with one of the improved Opti-Spark units available from Dynotech Engineering. They have them available for both 92-94 style OptiSpark as well as 95-96 OptiSpark. All of their units feature much better sealing and vacuum extraction (only 95-96 originally had this). Plus, there are other improvements. The only way to go. They're expensive at about $600/each, but a new GM unit is not that much less expensive, especially for the 92-94 style.
