Mike C Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 I bought one of the LT1 carb intakes for my '96 SS motor. I'll use it until I have the $ for my DFI and then put all the FI stuff on my convertible. Then the plan is to put it on the '95 cop car motor I have and put it in the Z! It comes with a plug for the distributor hole so it looks like you can keep the "opticrap" but still run the carb? That would be nice actually so I would not have to mod the hood latch. I'll find out eventually, I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I still want to figure out a way to not mod the hood latch with the SBC. I think you can go magnetic pickup crank trigger and use a "timing" computer from MSD or Mallory that has an electronic advance built into it.

Guest Anonymous Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I'd ditch the Opti...its the most hated part of any 4th Gen F-body owner (I have had 3, all had the Opti replaced). I'm planning to go LT1 in two project cars (a 240Z and a 89 Trans Am), and I'm researching ways to eliminate the Opti right now. On the TA it will be easy; I'm using a Haltech and the TPI harness, having a hole cut and some welding done to make a distributor hole, and using the original TPI distributor. I'm not sure what route I'll take on the 240 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
