Ebay Optispark. Is it a real GM part?

Is this Optispark from Ebay a genuine ACDelco OEM Optispark? There wording sounds a bit obsure. It is only $175 vs the $300 that Summit sells them for. Should I be wary?

Dont Do It

My advice to you is not to buy any type of electricle components on eBay. I went through this so i know what im talking about. I put one in and alittle less then a year later the thing went on me. I was assed out three bills. You should go to summitracing.com. There not expensive and you get a warrenty with it. I learned that the hard way.

Yeah man,
your rolling the dice there. I would check with salvage yards first then if all else fails pay the dealer. At least you will have peace of mind that it is money well spent on a warranted item.

That's the same thing as a Delco part, just like the $10 spark plug wires at your local discount auto parts store are the same thing as a Delco part without the logo. Or the super cheap body panels from JC Whitney are the same as an OEM part.....
