i hate optis(venting) well i found that my opti was goin bad so i orderd one from acell got it in (after 2 months of back order). Should have known then to cancel it and get a diff brand...well got it in and one of the mounting holes that bolt to the block were broke off and the opti was so hard to spin like the bearing were 100 yrs old. I pulled it apart and the metal wheel(i think its called a relucter wheel, or optical wheel..corrcect if wrong trying to remeber) but it was bent all to ****. Sent it back to orileys. they got me a new one in on the next fri. Hook it up and the car wornt spin back 3,000RPM... and idles rough and back fires alot. so i put the old otpi in and runs fine. well runs fine for 30 mins and then it gets hot and starts to brake down and run shity. so i am a stand still so im letting the car sit for a couple days till i get the MSD BILLIT ALUM in...and the only reason im letting it sit is cuz just spent all my money on the msd and no money for gas ...haha

The Dynaspark completely replaces the opti and is a true cure all, but they are pricey.
im sitting here at work processing the returns, and guess what was on the pallet of defectives that came in?
haha the same unit that gave you hell, now i gotta send it back to Accel.
BTW Accel sucks ***, they have the highest defect rate of all the ignition products we sell..

i also put some TR6s in it with new 8mm wires, and well i took the exhaust off the stock manifolds and well i soaked the bolts in penatrating oil and i got 4 of the bolts of and BROKE 2 , well took it to the exhaust shop in den and well he heated the studs up and got them out. put me some new one in and i was good to go, or so i thought. when he had heated and welded the removing bolt to the stud it burnt my brand new wire for cylinder # 7 , well went and bought a brand NEW set of wires and just used the one for #7.

plug wires? hey what color are they? If they red i might need just ONE sooner or later as the alternator belt rubbed against one and kinda rub some rubber off of it...
