$399.00 and eight coils and the high voltage part of the Opti is gone. It's the Bailey LTCC. Just a control box and a harness and it works great. I've used it for years with no problems at all.
See...no plug wires down here.
They're up here where they belong. No problem with headers burning anything.

I was apprehensive at first and a while back went so far as to order another control box to keep as a spare. I never needed it but now I just had to order the harness to have a complete system.
The bonus with this set-up is that it's also an adjustable soft touch rev limiter and it has selectable NOS timing retard features built in also.

I have the ltcc and have had to replace the circuit board in it ,and not a lot of miles so don't get it wet at all.
Bob bailey did replce it for free,but it left me stranded several times,no problems since.

That's why I got a spare from Bob to use in my other car. I go on a trip I just pull the box for a spare. Luckily I've never needed it. When yours leaked did you have the O-ring in the case lid? I do install mine in a dry location so water can't get to it.

I would like to know a bit more about this conversion. My optispark just began to show signs of failure. i have owned the car since May 2012 and read all about the optispark prior to purchasing and still bought it. I like working on cars so the repair/replacement seems easy just time consuming; however, getting rid of problem for good sounds very intriguing.

Now i have to find a opti option. Drove to the track 2 hours no problem on the way back home about 1 hour on the road and for 2 minutes the car ran like it had a rev limiter set at 1400rpm missing then it was ok. I do have a msd box on the car, it was on it when i bought it. Any one have a problem like this. I'm thinking of pull the msd off and see what happen??.
