Seems like the LT1 is hit and miss. People constantly complain about them and the opti spark? I have the original engine in mine which is a 1993 Z28 with over 212,000 miles on it.And original opti spark! Has never failed to start. Only time I had any issue was I let it set too long. I bought a different daily driver. And the smog pump got a small piece of rust on the fan blade which would not let it turn. So it threw up the CEL light. This year I had to put an oil sending unit sensor on it. That is it outside of routine maintenance. I just do not understand what people are doing to theirs to have so much hate. And almost every single one of my miles are hard miles. This car is never driven easy

I agree! I think it's mostly kids who misdiagnose problems, then put cheap autoparts store reman stuff on their cars, and when those parts don't fix the problem or fail prematurely they badmouth the LT-1. I have a 1996 SS that sits outside under a cover for weeks at a time and has never once given me any problems. I also have the original Opti-Spark on it with absolutely zero issues. Love the car!
