I finally got around to pulling the WP, and the opti, pulled to opti apart, and this is what I found.

All the contacts look like they have some white corrosion type of stuff, the worst one is the one farthest right in this picture.

More pictures of the white corrosion on the other contacts.


Overall, its pretty clean, and dry inside, the seal broke as you can see.


Picture of the armature.

I also pulled two of these out of my brand new Accel plug wires to the opti!!! WTF!!!! I thought accel was supposed to be good....

Anyways, what should my next step be? should I be able to get by with just cleaning up the contacts and the armature? How would I go about doing that? or should I just throw a new one in???


Also, little side story for you guys, I brought the opti to advanced to get a reverse torx bit socket for the cover bolts. Right away some kid says "oh shit, lt1 huh?" so I talk to the kid, he says "oh yeah, they suck but I was pumpin 700 horse out of mine, thing was nasty, lt4 kit, 1.7 rockers so I had compression out the ass! I had a rear mount turbo kit, pushin 6lbs of boost, thing smoked lamborghinis, noone could touch me." I just laughed and said oh yea? thats pretty cool man, you got a dyno sheet? he said nah man. I said, yeah, I didnt think so lol, then I left.
