i have never done an opti before and just pulled mine off, only took an hour. my question is does anyone know of a good way to put it on without it spinning and not lining up right? i have heard of a lot of people doing it wrong so i just dont want to be one of them.

You can make a mark on the outside edge of the drive hub (ex. 12 o'clock or such), so you can watch it from above as you slide it on.

Ok I just never have done it. It was getting dark when I took it off and could not see the dile and all. I'll do that and maybe in the light it will be clear to me thanks.

FWIW as long as the dowel pin engages in the correct clover on the opti drive it can't be "out of time."

There are 3 positions on the opti and the pin looks like it would fit in any I'm just trying not to put it in the wrong spot

just as long as the opti sits flush with out drawing it on with the bolts your fine....

Not necessarily. Many people have thought they put it on correctly and did not.

i had the msd opti in and i am puting my stock one back in. on the msd it had a built in harness that plugs in on top of the intake manifold, my stock one as you all know does not. does anyone know where to get that extension to go from the intake manifold area to the opti. i called a local dealership and the quoted me $220, they are crazy.
