Pre-95 Optispark GM Conversion Kit
Would someone please list the part number and price for the pre-95 optispark conversion kit sold by GM. I just bought a 94 optispark and would like to apply the fix before installing it on the car.
I am not interested in the CF conversion procedure or the Mid America solution.
Thanks!

Re: Pre-95 Optispark GM Conversion Kit (mshipon)
Martin,
I'm not aware of a "GM" kit. The only other way to convert one besides the CF or MA procedure is to buy all the parts necessary to install a '95-'96 opti. This would include the front cover, camshaft, and timing components from a '95-'96 and obviously a lot more work. The CF procedure seems to be fairly easy and inexpensive. The GM vacuum harness they use (12558921 - which is the new P/N) is only $8.47. Unless there's something out there I haven't seen yet, that's the only options I'm aware of. -Jeff

Hey Brian... Yes, that's what I was referring to, but according to Jeff, GM doesn't make such a conversion for a 94 OptiSpark.

I used the 95 vacuum harness on my 94 (a GM part), It was recomended in the article by in Corvette Fever. I can't seem to find the magazine at the moment!
