What kind of Opti do I need for my Delphi Z28?

I was running on my previous 94 Z28 A4, with a a1cardone reman opti and it worked great. My current 94 Z28 A4 only has 53K original on the car. And i got a Delphi complete assy waiting to install.

This is the BIGGEST problem with the design. forewarned. You CANNOT bolt a 1995+ Optispark up to a 1992-1994 LT1. The CAM is different. You could change the CAM, timing cover, CAM gear, etc but this gets expensive, and is very labor intensive.
