just wondering if anyone has had any problems with their msd opti?...i have a ignition problem and i believe it is the opti..i bought it used...as soon as there is a load on the motor above 2000 rpm it misses like crazy...and at an idle when you first start it it pops through the exhaust

PLEASE check the obvious FIRST! I installed a motor once and it started misfiring under a load. I replaced the opti also.
I had two plug wires swapped the whole time!
Might I add, the opti DID quit on me 10 mins. later driving down the road
(guessing the two being swapped messed it up)

No problems with mine, bought mine as a complete unit new, never opened it up to make sure the rotor wasn't loose so hopefully it will continue to keep working perfectly.

When I say improper installation I mean they assembled the opti wrong. The MSD opti has been known for the o-ring between the cap and housing to come loose and cause the rotor to rub. This is why they started putting out the square o-ring so it wouldn't roll off its lip.
