Re: They DO exist!! (MSD Opti)

Nice piece. I'm toying with the idea of buying one of these and removing the cap and rotor and welding an aluminum cover over the optical half to use it as a bulletproof/leakproof cam sensor for the Delteq setup I'm running.

Hopefully they will be more reliable, and water-resistant.

It's the screw next to where the harness comes out.

Thanks I thought that was probably it, but I wasn't sure.

Looks like it might be in a spot that will make on-car adjustments difficult

Re: They DO exist!! (MSD Opti)

So am I right in assuming the MSD Opti for a 94 Z28 comes with Vacuum lines? If so I may buy one.

Yes, it is. The cap is sealed to the body with an o-ring.

These are supposed to take higher RPMs better right?
