I need a new Opti

I need a new opti for my 94. I haven't been able to find any recent post on where to get new AC Delco opti at a descent price. Anyone know of a good place?

Thanks

Let me know what you find OP. Also since on the same subject...Ive seen opti's go for 172 to well over 600. So what are the more reliable ones??

With the cheap ones you get what you pay for. The after market ones are hit or miss. That's why I'm ging Delco again. The last one I replaced was Delco and it lasted for 8 or 9 years.

Before buying anything, I would call Jason Cromer at Sam Taylor Buick Cadillac in Fort Walton Beach, FL. and see what kind of price he can offer.

That is a factory replacement part, from GM Performance Parts/AC Delco (now Delphi). It is the correct, "vented" Opti for your car. Not sure how good the price is. thepartsladi was selling them for about $250, but they screwed a few people over and disappeared from the face of the earth with their money.

I bought my GM opti from Summit, it's been good so far but I've only put about 3000 miles on it

Why do you think you need a whole new opti?
