Time for a new Opti. Any Suggestions? It's that time again... seems like 70,000 miles was just 5 years ago. It's been a while since I had to do this and was wondering if a GM unit was still the way to go(so expensive). I have a 1993 model. Has anyone had any experience with Summit Racing PN SUM-850059 ? (its cheap.) I'm going more for a daily driver than a race car, but what about the MSD units? I've heard varying reviews about them. Any one have any suggestions?

Where are you finding an ac delco opti? Its delphi units now and they are pretty shitty.
MSD's are pretty damn good now a days. The older ones were trash, no doubt.

480 bucks from Sears? O.o ROFL.
By the way that was really hard. Typed in Google AC Delco Optispark.
I bought my car with a MSD changed like 8k before I got it, test drove it 3 times. Bought the car, 2nd day home the Optispark took a crap. Tried a Chandler Motorsports, didn't work. Put in a Ac Delco been fine for years now.
I should find Chandler and throw the Optispark through his window.

If you're modded and spinning anywhere near 7000 rpm MSD.
