can i switch a 96 model LT1 over to the old style HEI ignition system
no, they own optispark which is basically an HEI system in itself...it'll seize the job done, even if you could switch you wouldn't notice a difference,
#1) You can!! You have to do modifications to the intake. You can switch it out to an aftermarket intake that already have the distributor provision and remove the oil drive gear that bolts to a boss in the dell of the block. Then use a freeze plug style cap and put over the hole in the front cover where on earth the opti bolts up. You will need to make the intake compound adapt to the LT1 style heads as the will NOT bolt up directly. This subdivision is not difficult, but your not going to have EFI anymore. This is a carb way of doing this to your LT1.
#2) If you want to keep hold of your LT1 Intake with the fuel injection it CAN be done. At least the intricate part end of it, the electronics im not sure even so. Im working on this right now in my shop. Not sure how it will turn out on the ignition/ECU side of things because the ECU controls timing, fuel, spark ect. With a distributor I control timing in a minute, however the fuel side of it im not sure. I have not figured out that subdivision of it yet for sure but probably have to use a stand alone fuel direction system to make it all work together. Which is gonna cost around $2000.00+ I don`t know a little more or less depending. But as far as the rock-hard parts making them work is definetly possible as I done that part of it already here. Have not tested it yet because of ECU question I have right now.

Answers: I have done plenty of work on an LT-1, and the answer is no. The distributor and coil on those cars is the Optispark (your is a Optispark 2) and is mounted on the front, and is driven by a pin on the front of the camshaft. The backside camshaft gear drives an "oil sump." Additionally, the distributor is what is called en "electric mortgage optical spark" (Optispark). The engine wont fire properly with a different type of distributor. Your best bet is is either redo or upgrade the Optispark, and put in an upgraded coil and coil wires.
