I'll answer anyway.

MSD sucks *****. Go on ebay and see if you can find a new OEM for a deal. Make sure the water pump is OK too cause a lot of opti probs are caused by the WP leaking on the Opti.

the msd opti isnt all that great. just get an OEM one and make sure you seal it properly yourself. my hate for optispark has driven me to never buy another LT1 ever again. (unless it is for a STEAL of a price)
