ooooops - dynaspark opti connector!
Darn it.
I have replaced the original opti on my 92 with a dynaspark unit.
The dynaspark does not come with the female connector.
As I read now, I was supposed to save that original connector from my failed opti to add to the dynaspark. 
Apparently the plug is too expensive to add to the $600 dynaspark. 
So, if anyone is replacing their generation 1 opti with another - I would love to buy your old one. (for a very very small token cash amount plus shipping.)
Or, I'll just hardwire the thing in.

I might have one laying around. Exactly what piece are you needing? The connector for the wire harness on the opti? I assume you have to disect the opti to get it out. You mean the dynaspark doesn't come with this?

Turns out I didn't make a mistake. Lucky me! The part in question is the 17" wiring harness extension from the opti to a connector under the fuel rail area on the passenger side of the engine.
I still have it.
But thanks for the thoughts...

It's this connector on the passenger side of the intake. The 92 is different from the 93 and later. I looked and couldn't find one any where. I don't even think GM has any.

They don't include the plug on the DynaSpark because of the several different styles of plugs and I believe some where switched mid year. When I first switched over to the factory style '95 Vented opti, the harness for it doesn't plug into the '94. We cut and soldered the wires. When I had to replace the harness because of corrosion I realized the difference was a small tab on the inside of the connector. There was one tab extra. I took a small exacto knife and cut out that extra tab and now it'll plug into the '94 end. When I got the DynaSpark, they just pulled the pins from the plug with the tool that's provided and pushed in the DynaSparks pins.
