Optispark Distributor – 1995–1996 Corvette

Petris Optispark Distributor for Your 1995-1996 Corvette

This premium ventilated pin-drive Optispark distributor is a direct-fit replacement for factory units. It’s built with the same precision and attention to detail that has defined our approach to ignition system refinement for decades.

Each unit is a blueprinted assembly, built from the ground up in the USA using globally sourced components that meet or exceed OEM standards. Unlike rebranded or mass-produced alternatives, every distributor is hand-assembled from the component level using premium parts — not repackaged and resold. It’s built the right way — using carefully vetted materials and techniques perfected through years of LT1/LT4 platform expertise.

Every unit is fully tested on our test stand at 800 RPM prior to shipment to verify:

• Proper spark output

• Fuel injector pulse

• No ECM/PCM fault codes detected 

What Sets Our Optispark Distributor Apart?

✅ High-Precision Optical Sensor
Our optical module is engineered to meet or exceed original specifications — ensuring stable signal delivery and dependable timing.

✅ OE-Style Ventilated Cap with Brass Terminals
Includes a cast-in ventilation port, high-voltage distribution straps, and brass terminals for long-lasting conductivity and improved spark control.

✅ Built to Prevent Common Failures
Each pin-drive unit is placed on a custom-built timing fixture for a final alignment check — a step most competitors skip, often leading to timing issues. Internal components are secured with Loctite, and each unit features a Viton-sealed bearing for enhanced durability and resistance to heat and chemical exposure — helping prevent several common causes of Optispark failure or poor performance.

✅ Professionally Assembled Vacuum Hose Kit
Includes correct check and resistor valves, assembled to the correct specs with durable, automotive-grade materials. Designed to ensure proper ventilation and protect against cap damage.

✅ Brand-New Electrical Harness Included
Each unit comes with a new harness — crafted in-house using OEM-grade terminals and TXL wire for optimal fit, performance, and reliability.

What’s Included:

• Ventilated Optispark distributor — fully assembled and ready to install

• Vacuum hose assembly with protective high-temp split loom

• Electrical harness with 4-pin connector 

• Installation instructions (we recommend having a factory service manual on hand for additional reference)
