I got a 1992 corvette. Has any one put a later distributor (96) vented style on a early style one. I,m doing wires and want to change the cap and rotor at the same time.. Thanks

If your opti is original, you might consider replacing it with a vented
opti: https://www.corvetteforum.com/articl...acement-guide/

There are other vented opti
instructions..... search will help.

If the opti has been replaced, you might just leave it alone until it fails.
Then consider a vented opti. Just a humble suggestion.

How they say, if it's not broken- don't fix it. Also stock type 96 needs to change timeing cover components on pre 95 or buy updated type for your car.

Some aftermarket opti's offer a vented system for the 92-93. I have a Dynaspark that I bought a long time ago as a spare that I finally pupuit on. Don't Know if they are in business yet as ownership changed after I bought mine and heard that the quality of the units decreased because of poor parts used. I think they did not use the Mitsubishi sensor in the latter units.
