Hey guys, Dynaspark here
I just wanted to update you on a few things, first of all, the transition of the business is going smoothly. We are getting things done, however it is taking longer than we would like. There is no one to blame for this, this is just how it works.
We are continuing to build and sell distributors during this time however payment is restricted right now to COD and M/O or personal checks. We appreciate everyone's patience with this and look forward to working with you in the future. We have high expectations for this business and we are dedicated to providing you with excellent service. If you have any questions please call us, or reply to this thread. Also, due to the fact that we have a lot going on right now with trying to get this started we may not always be able to answer the phone, but if you leave a message we will return your call.

I haven't personally inspected an MSD opti however ive seen pictures and read about it. They have mad a valient attempt at designing a new distributor. Before i go in to this i am not saying anything bad about MSD, im simply stating my observations about their product in comparison with ours.
They(MSD) changed the optical sensor completely, there was no reason to do this, but it makes people feel good since the optical sensors do go bad in the stock unit. The mitsubishi sensor is a great design, its accurate and works well, the environment its in is what causes it to go bad, we change the environment not the sensor.
They put their cap on the distributor. As far as i know, we have never had a cap go bad on one of our distributors that was installed correctly or didnt have previous issues. The cap is not an issue.
They put their rotor on the distributor. From what ive seen, their rotor has extra material around the mounting area to prevent it from cracking. We fix this problem /w a washer. The rotor contact on ours is aluminum riveted and balanced, i dont know about their rotor contact but i would assume that it still uses plastic rivets.
Our distributor has better cooling/venting charactaristics, its totally sealed... there are many things that make the dynaspark distributor such a solid unit, the MSD unit isnt even for sale, its just for order. Knowing what i know about our distributor i would spend the extra money to have a rebuildable and reliable unit. You can also count on us to answer all your questions and help you with tech support (once we get a business phone lined up) rather than talking to an MSD phone attendent you will be talking to the owners of the business (dynaspark.)
As far as $450 for a distributor, if we sold them for that much it would be nearly cost for us. If there was interest for a group buy we could make something happen, depending on the amount of people interested you could get them for a lot less...
Also, the MSD's timing adjustment option of plus/minus 5 degrees is negligable, especially on stronger motors. And there are easier and more accurate ways of adjusting timing than removing your water pump to turn a screw...
Does MSD have a warranty on their distributor?

I would prefer to go with your dynaspark that has a track record to look at than wait around for MSD to get theirs on the market.
My questions are, what is the price? and where can I order one from now?
Thank you for your help

I have one on my 94 and will buy one in a minute for my 93 when it needs it. Cost worries? My experince has been that you usually get what you pay for. I don't PLAN on putting but one on a car when I buy it and feel confident that is exactly what will happen. I'm just glad to see they will still be available when I need another for a different car. First class product... no matter what any rant says!

Thunder Racing has then for $599.00 and they are a straight bolt in with all the inprovements and the warrenty. This is only $70.00 more than the stock 92 Opti and no need to change the timing chain cover as you would have to upgrade to the later vented Opti.
And more important they are in stock and ready to ship now.
I am putting one of these on my list.

One last suggestion (that you may've already thought of): wireless headsets, guys. while you're in the "office", headsets so you can keep on the move, keep doing what you're doing (almost, unless you're grinding), and answer the phones. I suspect you're gonna have some calls...
Good luck in your new venture. You've got a handful of work in front of you but you sound/look like you're starting out at least with C4 CF members on the right foot. Keep it up, and someday when I need your product, I'll know exactly who to turn to. I mean it.

Good luck. Generally forum members are very loyal to good companies. If you get off on the right foot and work to stay there, you'll have little to worry about here.

Well, our intentions our to stay on the right foot... hopefully it's not too difficult. Wireless headsets are nice however this isnt something where we are in the shop 8-5 M-F... however, the phone will be carried by someone at all times though, so regardless of whether we are in the shop or not we will be answering the phone... Our plan is to order parts to build them and build them right away on our own time so that when people make orders we can have them shipped out that same day rather than build them when people request them... i hope that makes sense, and i hope it works out... Im open for suggestions, what do people think will make this work out better for both the business and the customers? We are trying to get a page up on our site (which is still in the works, im having a really hard time with it) that will have customer testimonials with a picture of the customer /w their car... development on that is pending... We also have a design for a rotorless cap for the coil pack systems so the people running those ignitions will have the benefit of our sealed distributor as well... ive had enough typing for now, let me know what your guy's thoughts and suggestions are

Hopefully, made this way, the "working parts" section can be removed from the baseplate without taking the water pump off.
Therefore, in a multi-coil system, the optical section can be removed and replaced without removing the water pump or damper pulley.
