Howdy Forum,

Time to do the OPS replacement. Given that these are prone to fail, I would like some input regarding the best OPS to buy. It seems like replacing with OEM is just asking for failure again, sooner rather than later.

My OEM sender lasted from 1997 to 2013. Replacement from RockAuto. Working fine - we'll see in another 10 years or so......

This is what I did when I did the heads/Cam/Intake upgrade.
