"Best" (i.e. cheapest) source for GM Opti?

I need a new Optispark and my old connection (Dal) is no longer in the biz. What are current cheap sources for the GM Optispark?

Thanks.

Yeah, I miss Dal also. Seems like most are getting their optis from " thepartsladi" on ebay. The ~$150 Auto Parts store optis are probably rebuilds.

I've got the original from my 96 Impala if you want it.
180,000 miles and it was working fine when removed.
$50 plus shipping.

I have been very happy with price and service from ac-direct.

I have also had success with Superior Chevrolet.

I've had good luck with RMS Autoparts:

http://www.rmsautoparts.com/index.php

They sell genuine new AC-Delco parts, and I bought many a sensors, window motors, LT4 knock module, ignition coil from them.

The cheapest optis I've seen in on EBay....didn't see any AC-Delco parts, but saw a few Delphi one.

I would beware of those $70 new optics though.

I got mine from "thepartsladi" on ebay $307.00 delivered. For the non vented version this was the cheapest I could find. She shipped fast and it is the real deal.

I got mine from Autozone for $135.00 with a lifetime warranty. Its got about 30,000 miles on it now. I know you asked for GM but just thought I would throw this in the mix.

This is going out a limb, but Ebay sometimes has a decent price on opti's, if you can find one.
