who has had problems with msd opti??
who has had problems with msd opti?? 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
I have read about others having problems with them but most were due to improper installation. Mine has worked perfect since I installed it, and I open it up everyday that I drive! 
honestly there is really no wrong way to install the motor was on tdc #1 and i put the pin in its hole anything over 2000 rpm it misses like crazy im going to try a delco in it to see if it fixes it

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)

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.
ic what your saying i had the cap off of it and couldt see anything wrong and called msd and the tech line sucks im not sure its the opti now i have a feeling its the lifters
