Looking down into the receptacle with a flashlight exposes the 3 terminal prongs. I'm certain that this area was the recipient of a good bath during this process.
As indicated in the previous posts, I'll continue down the path Mike suggested and complete the leakdown test .
Hopefully I get good results.
If I chase the optispark unit, does it need to come apart to "DRY OUT" or will time cure the problem???

Thanks

Have a lot of experience with Opti's.
Water got in mine it created a small almost undetectable carbon track.
PMed it with a new Cap and Rotor worked fine.

Had a few Opti's fail.
Tried 3 Summit versions because of price.
All three failed in 6 months. It was the Trigger.

Twice my GM brand new units failed after 6 months.
Discovered carbon tracking the other a cracked rotor with carbon tracking.

Always keep a rebuilt Unit and a Rebuild Kit.

Never know when the water pump will spring a leak.
