Lowe's carries an extremely small set that has the tool for this.
I just bought this set and used it on my Opti-Spark last week.
It is a small driver with bits that fit in the handle -- it is hard to see because it is small.

Dude...That' mean...

While you're having it rebuilt I'd have it rewired to the later (late '94-up) wiring schematic. That way I won't have to repin the damned plug...AGAIN...

Make sure you have the right restricter valve on your vacuum vent line or it will suck the cap into the rotor.

The standard vacuum harness has special vacuum controls that will limit the engine vacuum to 2" Hg at the Opti-Spark.
