Del Tech Coil Conversion???




The module is a propritary box. Company is OUT OF BUSINESS.
Might find a used one here or there - good luck with that.
IIRC then you just need coils and make spark plug wires.
Mod your opti and then figure out why it isn't working.
Get it working and your done until the module dies and you can't find another one.
Good luck with that.
I bet the Opti Optical sensor was bad, or had water in there. Delteqs manual is still online to test the Opti box and coils.
I have been trying to contact you for the last 3 weeks to no avail!
Please respond ASAP/convenient?
I have hit a roadblock installing a 93-95 Delteq conversion on my early production 92 LT1.
The supplied T harness will not interconnect with the Opti-Spark diagnostic connectors as detailed in the Delteq installation manual.
The Opti-Spark diagnostic connectors (2 X 3 pattern with one pin missing) vs. the Delteq T-harness (1 X 3 pattern with one pin missing).
Any help/pics would be appreciated.
My contact info is below or you may send me a PM and I will contact.
Thanks,


Here was the web site. I was thinking when I was on the site a couple of years ago, I was able to print off the installation information.

Now that the company is out of business though, and you can't get replacement control modules, I don't think I would buy another.
93 LT1.
Never had any problems until lately.
I noticed after the first start of the day and just normal driving through the gears sometimes the car would misfire and stutter for a few seconds
mostly in 3rd gear and then be fine the rest of the day.
I could not figure out what it was.
Well a few days ago I was on the I-10,cruise control on 65mph,radio rather loud and going up a hill we call the High Rise when the car started Lugging (so I thought) without a thought dropped to 5th,then 4th,Hey!still lugging. What's going on?
Shut the radio off and the engine was popping and spitting,backfiring etc.
I tried getting over to the right lane. Engine would quit but start right up still spitting etc.
As I crested the hill there was an exit and I shut it down and coasted down the ramp and luckily into a big empty parking lot.
Popped the hood and couldn't find anything obvious.
Cranked it up. Still the same and shut it down.
Called a flat bed and after waiting about 30 min decided to back it up more to make room for the flatbed. I knew it would start.
When I cranked it up it was running like a top???
I didn't want to take a chance so continued with the tow to a recommended Corvette shop.
After two days but admitting they were not familiar with Del-Teq
they could not find the problem.
Called Del-Teq and got the same answering machine.
Anyone on this Del-Teq thread have any ideas?

I just finished installing on my 92 LT1 and love it!!!
The car doesn't miss a beat and even saw an increase in instantaneous gas mileage shoot over 30. Not bad for a car with a little over 140K miles.
I had some install issues pertaining to the Delteq Kit which was for a later 93-96 year but overcame/modified by redoing the later style connectors on the T-harness(#3) and substituting (3) 1/4-20 X 4 1/2 Allen head screws and spacers to mount up the coils/pack on my valve covers.
I can provide info on this modification and have extra connectors/misc to do help others out.
I tentatively mounted my Delteq Opti box to the side of the P/S pump and will mount to a more cooler/less heat location after lengthening the harnesses.
I would recommend trying to diagnose your car's symptoms using the diagnostic section of the Delteq Opti-Box installation manual (available PDF download on their website).
This will point towards either the Delteq Opti Box/System or the low/high signals generated from your Opti distributor (bearing, optics or water/anti-freeze/oil failure).
Even though we eliminated the troublesome cap and rotor the other components still could fail.
Best of Luck/Regards,


fuel pump and new Bosch III's injectors from FIC. I put AC stock plugs in. I had the paperwork he gave me on the injectors and called Jon and he knew just what was wrong. Sent me new one's and after changing them I was getting over 30 mpg. So I am finally getting it to run better. One of the cheap wires came off the clip last fall and burnt through. Putting a new set of 8.2 Taylors on in the next coupe of weeks.
