Heh. You think I wouldn't do it? You want to fly or drive? I'd rather get you a plane ticket than pay your gas guzzling Z28 fees!
Beach access is 30 minutes from my house...

Seriously, right now you are the only person I can think of that will be able to fully help out considering my slightly unique situation of tons of mods at once. I can't put my finger on the problem. I have to borrow my friends digital multimeter so I can check my BRAND NEW opti signals. I've tried almost everything else I can think of. I'll bet it's something you could figure out in like 3 minutes.

Don't kid yourself. I'm no genius. I'm sure you will get it figured out. You just have to do the basics and proceed logically.

Umm...what part of Florida is that?

Jacksonville/Orange Park. It's right by beautiful St. Augustine. The airport is 30 minutes away

30th.......if you have no spark, then have you check all the conections to the opti spark...specially the top one...becuase when i installed my new DYNASPARK i forgot to plug in one of the plugs to the opti which made no spark to my car at all, it would just turn over no firing....check that out, that could be it....its near the top of the opti under the waterpump..

Well MOST people can tell you this. Since you already figured out you have no spark then it is ignition related. There are a handful of things it could be but you dont seem to want to fix you car too bad or you would have ripped out the MSD, checked all your connections to the opti(opti harness), checked for burn fuses, replaced the opti with your old one since you KNOW it was working, replace coil and ICM if you have not already done so. Nothing else you did to the car would make it lose spark. FWIW a friend and I ripped out the old opti and put the new on it for a test fire in under 1 hour... of course we still had to put it all back together but we knew it would run before the car was finished.
