Optispark (83k mi original) was causing an intermittent and weak spark on cylinder 2. I changed out the opti and WP/Opti seals and now the car runs great.  I hadn't read about optis causing single cylinder issues, but I guess it happens.

That's weird. I would guess it was a problem within the cap, probably a broken trace.

What code were you getting? Your problem sounds like mine, but OBD keeps saying the MAF sensor, which is a new Buick part. I'm about ready to replace my opti since I've heard of other guys having weird occasional problems like this, and the opti was the problem.

That cap looks like there might have been a venting issue. IIRC, there was a TSB about this. If the vent filter gets plugged, the vacuum can suck the cap in causing cross-firing.

Is that a highlighter? Good idea, I just bought a tool on eBay for that, damn it.

When I bought my 2nd LT1 wagon (Dusty), it had a miss on #7. Short version a new cap and rotor fixed it (after I changed EVERYTHING ELSE). the metal divider thing had a hole burned through it and it would arc through the hole to somewhere on the opti housing.... that was ~135K on everything as the even the hoses were still OE.
