I never caught they guys name, but he did say that he worked for MSD around the time Opti-spark equipped cars came out. He mention that the MSD box took out the Opti.

I hope this unit is all that it is hoped to be.

The person that I THINK worked on the Electromotive Opti-Eliminator is the one listed under "Contacts" as:
"JC Hyde, Chief Electronics and Embedded Systems Engineer."

The LTCC control box will be mounted in the area where the battery was once located. It will be mounted vertically on rubber isolatorsÂ…Jim
I thought you already had everything done and was wondering how you hide the wires so well. Anyway I would like to see more pics when you get finished with the complete install if you dont mind.

TJ, sent you an IM with a link to the Loctite adhesive I used for bonding.

FSTRNU, I haven't actually mounted the box or ran the wiring, but all of the thinking & planning is done, so it won't take long to complete the work.
I plan to rework the portion of the supplied wiring harness that runs to each coil; I believe it can be cleaned up some.

to those of you wanting to mount the LTCC box to the side, you had better eliminate the EGR plumbing, cause the only way the harness will reach is behind the intake and that is where the EGR is... it will melt the LTCC harness.

As for this new solution... one or two get an idea, 3 or for follow... interesting.

I have the LTCC, and am very happy with it... I do wonder how it will do when I take it though CA emissions... :confused:
