I will be installing a new opti in the coming days and need some info on how to "stab" it. I've done countless distributor installs on SBC and BBC....put #1 at tdc and install distributor with the rotor pointing at #1 plug wire. Simple. Is it the same for the opti or is there some other installation method with these units?

Oh yeah, when I took the old opti out, I didn't mark anything so I can't be sure of it's positioning when removed.

you dont have to mark an opti possition when it comes off the one of the dowl pin holes will have a notch at the outside edge of it and that is the mark for the one that gets the pin. search the forum better there are a million threads about this that even have pictures!

One way in. If it goes in and doesn't seat all the way, it's in wrong.
