Default 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.

The "opti"spark is not magnetic. Other than cap and rotor, replacement parts are not readily available.
