Default Re: LT1 Opti spark question

How will the BS3 pulse the injectors without the signal from the opti spark?
Thanks
I have rebuilt several Opti's.
Stopped buying new ones if the Led Trigger is good.
Also a working Opti has the Rotor Clocked Correctly.

For Drag Racing, Remove everything.
If you have a good Trigger unscew it and save it.
Tape or Plug the Opening.

Save the Trigger Wheel if not bent.

Install the Rotor and Locktite the Screws.

Take the Long Electrical Connector that goes into left side of the Opti.
Cut the Wires and Install the Connector.
Plugs that hole.
Prevents water or moisture from gettng inside the Cap and Rotor.

There are two small tubes on the bottom.
Put a Rubber hose on Both.
Let them hang.
