Ebay seems to be getting more and more shady dealers like this. I bought an air pump for the wife's Blazer last month, pictured as a GM unit complete with housing. Got a Dorman motor only - and it made noise to boot, probably a reject or second I'm thinking. When it matters I think I'll go with dealer GM parts or at least a local parts store item. That Optispark is too important and hard to change to mess with second rate stuff.

You can get an opti harness (the 4 wires and harness that plugs into the opti and the gray 4 wire connecter on pass side of the intake) from www.casperselectronics.com for $35 Great folks to deal with...They do a lot of specialty Turbo Buick harnesses. Just bought one from them 2 weeks ago. Here's the opti harness
