What is failing on your optispark?

I know a couple of guys who have had trouble with theirs. Their problem was traced to the cam dowel pin protruding from the cam just an ooch too far. It was causing warpage and eventual opti failure. You MUST verify that your cam dowel is at the correct distance from the cam face (I believe it's .6", but it's been a while...).

I'm running a Dynaspark in my '94Z. I like it - works well so far. But the LTCC or that other one would be good alternatives too.

Of course, the Dynaspark cost more than the motor I attached it to.
