Looking to do heads and cam, trying to get every thing sorted out as possible. One of the issues is my opti, its about 4 years old, has under 20K miles on it. It works fine, no problems what so ever and the cars runs great. I can only imagine that it is doing its job. I have been told I should be able to reuse it since it works and has low miles, I was thinking about reusing and just changing the cap and rotor to a new MSD be on the safe side, any thoughts on this? It svaes me some money over buying a new opti that I would rather put towards new hoses and a radiatior.

 

i've got 90k on mine, its lived through 3 cam changes, 2 head swaps, and an electric water pump install

 

keep it there should be any problem with it. if you dont shot it with a 12 gauge and take pics

 

Re-use it. Should be fine with that low of miles.

 

I reused mine on the Vette when I rebuilt the bottom end on it 3 years ago. Ran just fine

 

Awesome, would be a wise move to swap in a new cap and rotor?

 

Yes it would Neil.

 

Leave it alone and re-use it. Opti's are picky..if it works, then leave it be!

 

Finally breakin into that motor huh?

But yeah, I agree with the fellas. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

I'va got a MSD cap/rotor new if you need one, I've seen a taxi with 275k with the original optispark he just replaces the cap and rotor.

 

Thanks guys

I think in the last 2 years I have put maybe 2.5K miles on the car to a grand total of 68K, I got a killer deal on a set of MTI LT1 Heads so I figure might as well tear in to it, it isnt my daily driver any more so down time in not relavent.
