Did you have the opti apart before you put it on to make sure the rotor was in there? And you did hook up the plug wires correctly, right?

What year is yours? You didn't force the thing on the engine by drawing it down with the mounting bolts? You got it to slip on nice and easy before bolting it down?

Lucky, you dodged that bullet! When I did my MSD opti, I removed the cap to check everything inside even though it was new. You can never be too sure, being new doesn't always mean it's right. I also wanted it apart to make sure the rotor lined up like the old one did, and so I could also put RTV on the opti to seal the cap back on.
