Default Opti crap out!!

Been raining for the past two days and left my hood popped. My opti seems to crap out when the littlest drop of water gets on it. Where should I get a replacement. How good are the ones on eBay for like 130ish that seem legit.

Yea do what ^^^^ he said, let it dry out for a day and see if it runs again. If not cough up the money and get a GM unit otherwise you will be busting your knuckles changing it out again after a few thousand miles.

Anywhere from $525-2,000 to install a hall effect crank and cam trigger so that you can run an LS1 computer with the individual coils for each cylinder. The price depends on how good you are at doing things on your own.
