converting 92 opti connector to 4 pin?
The '92 has different connectors for the Opti-Spark under the right fuel-injector cover.
So, for the '92, you can use the new '95 style Opti harness if you change the connector under the fuel injector cover.
For a '93 and '94, I think you can buy the new '95 style harness and plug it in.
I found this in another thread; does anyone know how
i purchased an msd opti and need the conversion
thanks

First, record the location of each pin in the connector (record wire color and pin letter) OR you can eject one pin at a time and immediately put it in the new connector.
The pins are simply ejected using a pin ejection tool, that can be bought at Pep-boys, and inserted into the new connector.
No wire cutting and splicing is needed.
The pin letters are the same in both connectors.
So:
Old connector --- New connector
Pin A -> Pin A
Pin B -> Pin B
Pin C -> Pin C
etc.
The old connector has more pin locations because it has a ground wire for a shield -- you don't need the ground.
The newer harness does not have a ground or shield.
