Default Best Optispark Replacement

On my 1996 CE I'm having problems getting it to start at all. The fuel pump was bad, but that's been replaced and I am definitely getting fuel at the Schrader valve. I'm working on diagnosing the ICM and since they're not that expensive I have a new one coming in today. I'm praying it's not the Optispark, but I also like to be prepared. Where is the most reliable Optispark coming from these days? Sac City, Petris, someplace else?

I bought one from Sac City, then cleaned up my Mitsu sensor and installed it in the new opti. No problems so far.

I (and a few others) have had the optidoctor rebuild our optis. He has an eBay store and will deal with you outside of ebay. Look him up (he's on here as well), check out his service and what it entails and if you're interested I'll send you his contact info

Mine is on its way back from him. I didn't think about putting my mitsu sensor in a new Opti.
