auto will be more consistent. get the trans rebuilt, throw a stall converter and a trans cooler and temp gauge at it and some 3.73 gears and she'll be a whole new animal.

The correct termonology for this car is an optispark?

well, if you wanna get technical..... it is an optical spark distributor.
its just a different style of distributor. The opti has two functions in the spark process. The first thing that happens is as the cam turns, the optical section of the optispark picks up the signals by the rotation of the shutter wheel. The pulses are sent to the PCM via the optispark electrical harness. The PCM processes the signals along with other sensor input and determines the proper time for the coil to fire. The PCM sends a signal to the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and it, in turn, causes the coil to fire. The spark from the coil travels through the coil wire back to the secondary ignition section of the optispark (cap and rotor), to be distributed to the proper cylinder.
