my opti left me stranded again last tonight. I what are my options do get rid of that pos I think i have have had 5 of these things they are total junk. what options do i have to eliminate it. I cannot handle it happening again. any links to altenatives would help and any one with experince with and alternitive system please chime in. thank you.

 

There is no way to completely eliminate the opti. Delteq has a coilpack system that eliminates the cap and rotor but still uses the back half of the opti, which includes the bearing, which will fail eventually guaranteed. Delteq is working on a complete replacement but I read a reliable-sounding post including the advice, "don't hold your breath." You could do the Delteq for about $550. And this system will almost certainly be compatible with their back half replacement setup whenever it comes out, so the Delteq isn't a bad option.
My advice is to get a vented Borg Warner cap and rotor from O'Reilly's (the vented is $100 cheaper and fits the unvented; just plug the vent) for $140 (everywhere else has it for about $170) with a lifetime warranty, and get a refurbished "distributor" (which is the back half of the opti) from Advance for $160, also with a lifetime warranty (lifetime warranty applies at least at the Advance in Pulaski, VA; I assume it's nationwide.) This way you have a lifetime guaranteed optipieceofcrapspark for $300, and of course you'll probably need that guarantee within a couple years.
For someone with a vented opti, the new one is about $220 from that FLA or TX dealership whereas the unvented is $320, so in that case it might be better to get a new one.

EDIT: I should add that about 75% of the optispark failures are due to the cap and rotor, so that's a big plus for the Delteq. And the rotors have been known to blow into 100 pieces if they're spun about 6300 or higher; so that's another plus for the Delteq.

 

Sounds possibly that your cam dowel pin may not be the correct length putting your Opti in a bind...

 

i converted to a 95+ vented a few years ago along with a 95 dowel pin. what about the thing dynatech makes and one have luck one of them?
