Which Opti Would You Choose?
It would appear that my Opti has crapped out again... Currently running a "Cardone" brand Opti with under 1000 miles on it, and it's dead. Didn't get wet, so I'm still unsure how it died, but it's done. I'll tear it apart next weekend and find out. In the meantime, I'm looking at Opti's again, and curious what the best route is? I hear Dynaspark isn't worth it, so here are some Ebay finds. What do you guys suggest I spend my money on?

"Mitsubishi Spec" Encoder? Any feedback?

The price is good, but I'd rather pay more now, and NOT have to replace another opti in under a year like I've had to with my Cardone (which was similar in price.)

From what I've researched, Chandler's are the best choice right now. Great price, too!

Cheap and cheery, but is it reliable?
All thoughts are appreciated! Thanks fellas!

You are in the same boat (or worse) with any of those. ACDelco or Delphi, but they are hard to find for 93-94s, now. MSD next. Bottom line is you are gonna pay more for better quality.

Oreilly auto parts. 180.00 with the harness. Over 10k miles on it with no problems. and a lifetime warranty. I just didn't want to spend 500.00 for one and figured it's an electrical part so even an oem one can go bad at any given time. With the right tools, it's a 2 hour job.

If I ever have to, I will probably try Oreillys but that's also because I get 20% off there. Ive had 3 of these LT1's over the last 12 years and have yet to have an opti go bad knock on wood.
