Do you have a picture? I think I got sent one when I bought some parts. I have no need for it. I have a 1995.

This web page has a couple of images about halfway down.

My Optispark is the one on the right with the splined drive. The other end, which is not visible, is also splined.

I'll get you some pictures from my car on Monday or Tuesday is you still need them.

Thanks.

Yes, you have a 92-94 First Gen Opti. What part do you need? The little part that comes out of the back, correct?

That looks like it, but I can't be sure until I get to the car tomorrow. I'll do a comparison then and let you know for certain. I would definitely like to get this from you if it is the right part. Thanks again for your offer. Talk to you tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I thought I sent you a private email. Yes, thank you very much! I have it in the front of the engine, but I won't have the engine back in the car for a month or two, so I won't know until then if it fixed my oil leak. Thanks again for your generous offer.
