trust me guys, these are NOT ac delco units. Ac delco units are brownish yellow on the bottom. Again, ask for the stock cap. There's no way they would do it, because they can't. These are knock off units. Trust me, chinese manufacturers aren't worried about printing part numbers. Brownish yellow bottom is the real deal. Black is not.

did all_ignition disappear???? I sent my opti back for a refund and suddenly they're not selling anything on ebay, they haven't responded to an email in a week, and no one picks up at the phone number they list. Just an automated message that says "all ignition" and the voice mail is full. What the?

I posted the below comment early on before I bought mine - maybe you can start a post looking for someone in CA - which they claimed was their "main" warehouse - to help you out. I suspect they were fly-by-night and really had no mortar and bricks establishment.

They claim that they have been in business for 15 years and they have warehouses in NY, AZ, and CA. With that, my only concern is that they show a pic of their business with the name "All Ignition" under their "Me" profile, they list a phone number for CA - 661-977-0848 - but I can't find them by name or reverse lookup by phone number on yellowpages.com.

Look at the picture in their Myworld, it even LOOKS photoshopped!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-96.........I've been buying these exact units from Partsladi(on ebay) for years (over 10 units).......and I've yet to have one crap out on my cars or any of the cars that I've installed them on........they're not quite as cheap as the 149.00 dollar special opti's, but there still much cheaper than most places....and their 100% genuine AC Delco..................Joe

Do the thepartsladi people always have optis or is this a once in a while thing? My all ignition opti is still working great so i don't want to buy another one for a while.
