Get a Helms manual.... http://www.helminc.com.
A couple of years ago, Corvette Fever did a story that is required reading. I think someone has scanned it in. Feb 01 issue.
I have done the job, and it is not that hard, really. Just time consuming.
Get a new part. The remans are junk.
Check with Chris at Superior Chevy in Kansas. They have great deals for Forum members. I don't have the number on me.... sorry... :(

Don't buy reman's they suck.
You can contact Superior, but there was one guy a little bit ago who found it for 280something. $337 should be Superior's price.

Check out our TOOLS>TECH TIPS>C4>look for opti stuff. You got to have a Helms Service Manual! If that doesn't help try this: https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=231&TopicID=2
It explains how to install a Meziere pump, but also may help with your opti job.

Re: opti-spark replacement step by step (boonie2)
All good info here, and by the way, welcome to the :party:
Shop around for the OPTI, the price really bounces alot.
Don't buy a remanufactured one, you'll probably be doing the repair sooner than you want to if you do........
Good luck.
EDIT: You'd think that being a Corvette owner, I would have learned how to spell the word BUY by now, mmmmmmmmmm

It's the fumes from the waxes and cleaners that fogs a Vette owners mind. :skep: So don't feel bad about----I forgot my point. :(
