There is a store on E-Bay with supposedly new OEM Delco Opti-Sparks for $230.00. Anybody tried them to know if they are real Delco's or not. Or, where is the best price on an OEM Opti?

Do you happen to have the ebay link handy to look at?

 

screw ebay, I will never buy another thing off of there....I like dealing with real people in the real world

 

I bought my Opti on Ebay several years ago from a reputable company and its been fine for years...I think mine was around $230...As long as you buy from a reputable place and its the genuine GM part, you should be good...

I prefer the GM part myself, and Jason/Dal is about $200 plus shipping as I recall. But, I was very surprised recently to find the Accel Opti for $199 in, of all places, the JC Whitney printed catalog. I never use them for important parts, but during an unusually long, umm, pitstop, I made it all the way to pg. 71 and there it was. FYI.

 

I bought one on ebay (from the parts ladi) and it arrived in a sealed gm box just as described.

the parts ladi is a great seller, i have ordered from them a few times, and talked to them on the phone once or twice too. good people from pretty close to my house and fast to ship too.

 

Thanks for all the info. It was the parts ladi store I was looking at. Another question. Does anyone know of a place to buy an Opti-Spark rotor that has the plastic buttons holding the contact on drilled out and replaced with nut and bolts?

The partsladi is a dude. They do stand behind their parts. I got a bad opti from them and they changed it out no problem. 2nd unit works fine.

 

I got my opti from some place online for 200$. I think it was jcwhitney or somthing like that. Still works great. It is an accel opti.

 

A few weeks ago I got a AC Delco opti from an ebayer. I paid $186.00. Seller said it is new but there was some dialectic grease in the plug wire ports. I hope that AC Delco just put the grease in there for shipping and storage purposes and it is new. I guess I will find out when I cam it.
