Opti-spark magnetic pickup sensor replacement part?

I'm about to embark on an LT1 conversion harness for my Miniram'ed SBC. Going to transplant the Opti-guts into my HEI distributor.

Question, is that magnetic pickup sensor replaceable? Such that there's a separate part number for it?

I don't want to spend a boat load of money on a new Optispark. Would rather get a malfunctioning one really cheap just to get the mechanical guts out of it and then put a new sensor in it.

Thanks.

It's not the electronics that's the weak point. It's the environmental conditions created inside the housing that causes the failures.
