Not meaning to get off topic here but I had an opti I took off a non running car and I didn't know if the opti worked or not. Didn't really care if it did. I put it on Ebay with a disclaimer and this guy gives like $100 for it. I felt so sorry for him that I told him that if it didn't work to send it back by such and such date and I'd refund him his money. Never heard from the guy again and no feedback or nothing. Have no idea how it turned out.

I used the Accel opti and have no problems at all. It's cheap and great quality.

Ok, I'll be nice since i can see you're new, but in the future you might want to do a little more reading before giving advice.

I must have got my msd before these problems arose. I would have loctited the rotor screws had I known. I have about 3k on it right now (I don't drive it much because it sucks gas fro some odd reason).
