Yes. Its the timing/distributor system used for that motor. It remains unchanged. There is a company that makes a convert kit using coil packs from the Ls1....

Does a 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 have a distributor?

Yes, it is located behind the balancer, all the plug wires lead to it. The distributor for all 92-97 Camaros, Firebirds, and Corvettes with the 5.7L LT1 motor is called an Optispark distributor, unlike most conventional ignition distributor designs, the optispark design uses an optical sensor and a trigger disc to send the ECM a high and low pulse signal. Located directly under the waterpump, the optispark dose require a fair amount of labor for removal. There are many options available for LT1 owners when it comes to replacing their malfunctioning Optisparks. The guys at www.all-ignition.com are the foremost experts on this particaluar ignition system and have the largest selection on Brand New Optispark distributors. They provide excellent tech support on install questions and general info on the optispark distributors.


94 z28 camaro with a 5.7 liter 350 lt1 and it has the 460le auto trans recently purchased sat for a year in a garage this car has no power poor acceleration any ideas?

The problem could be your optispark distributor. They have a tendency to corrode inside and when this happens, it hinders the performance to the point that acceleration is greatly hampered. A bad optispark will also cause starting issues and engine misfires. Besides the optispark, check for a vacuum leak. Intake manifold leaks are very common on the LT1, as well as valve cover gasket leaks.

The wire goes to the coil, which is bolted to the drivers side head in the front of the motor.


How do you adjust the timing on a 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood?

You don't. It is an LT1 with the infamous GM Optispark ignition. There is no adjustment, the computer does it for you. If you are replacing the Distributor, all you do is take the old one off and put in th new one, no adjustment needed.

What does optispark control?

The Optispark is your distributor. It routes the power from the ignition coil to your spark plugs.


Did general motors ever put a Corvette lt1 engine into a camaro?

The 350 LT1 in the 1993-97 Z28s are considered by some as a "detuned" Corvette engine, but they never matched the Corvette in actual horsepower ratings (not officially, anyway)
