Optispark problems
Getting a trouble code for my optispark and need to replace it ('93/29k miles). Just wondering what people have been using - stock oem, accel, msd? Car is pretty much stock right now, but I plan on doing afr heads, cam, etc to it sometime soon.
Thanks-

I have a 95, with the vented opti, and I replaced it at 83,000 miles even though it was still going strong, with a ac delco oem unit(ebay, $200 with shipping). That was 7000 miles ago and no problems. The only reason I put in a new one was the water pump went away and dripped on it for three weeks, until I got the parts to fix it. It was still working, but I decided on preventive maintanince.
I would like to have a msd, but $200 as opposed to $515 got me.
Most delco's seem to work well if installed right.

Any number of mistakes could cause the waterpump to not seal well to the engine when it gets reinstalled; be sure this is done properly or you'll be replacing that Opti all over again.

The main reason I went with MSD is that it was a vented opti. Worth the extra dollars IMHO.
