accel opti or msd opti ive been trying to save up for a new improved opti for my car and i figure after christmas ill have enough.. i was wondering if anyone has the accel and is it better spending around 300 for that vs 500 for the msd?

The really good thing about the MSD opti for a 93-94 is that it's also vented, so you don't have to switch to a 95+ setup to get a vented opti. Not to mention it's a MUCH heavier duty piece. I think there's a special on them right now over at Camaroz28.com in the site sponser section.

The Accel dist is more like a stock replacement. I am set up through Mr Gasket Co at wharehouse pricing and sell alot of their products. I would personally go with the MSD brand dist, it is a better built peice.

Other than the vented dist cap, they are about the same.

Well it looks like MSD has a cap and rotor for the GM opti, is that right or is it a replacement for their unit? If so I'm going with the GM opti and then the MSD cap and rotor next time I do plugs and what not.
