What opti to get?? So i am replacing my opti soon and I was wodering if you guys had a majority winner on what brand to get?? I replaced the stock one with a jeggs one about a year and a half ago but that one is dead now. I have heard that the "performance" ones for around $400-500 are not worth it. Should I just buy one from autozone since they have a lifetime warranty??

What year's your car? I did some price shopping last week and may have found a price for the ACDELCO OPTI that beat all the others I found.

Not a very cost-effective solution, considering you can't purchase the AC Delco optispark without the cap and rotor. Even then there is no performance gain using the MSD cap and rotor.

I bought a junked motor from the local yard, and it had an Accel opti on it.
I took it apart and it has GM part numbers on the disk and the opti pick-up, the only real deviation I see from the OEM is the bushings udes on the shafts.
I'm thinking of trying this sucker out if I ever get a chance...lol

I have a 97 camaro. I would be interested in where you found those for cheap. Also, i have read about people buying opti sealant stuff, where do I find this? Or should I just use rtv sealant??

Yeah i know these things arent cheap. But I just looked on their website and was not able to find one. Could you maybe post a link for me please? And maybe the price you found it at.
Delco for a street car, dynaspark for a track car. People are quick to deviate to a cheap opti or a MSD. But they forget that their opti that went out tens of thousands of miles after it was put on was a Delco

Yeah I was thinkin of using an AC Delco mainly because of the fact that the original one lasted so long. But I contacted Jeggs and they said they will replace mine for free. So being on a college kid budget, i might take that route and hope it lasts a little longer.
