If it is in fact an AC Delco, it will be the entire opti, including the cap and rotor. That is the only way AC Delco's come. If I were you, I would forget about eBay and pay the extra $50 and get one from Dal. He charges $296, I think that inlcudes shipping. If it doesn't, I think it's only an extra $7 or so. That way, you are sure you arnt getting scammed in any way. Plus, Dal is a very good guy to deal with and will get it in the mail that day if it's before 1 or 2pm I think.

Dal's number is 1-877-448-5451. He should answer.

Well, I bought mine from him a week ago and it was $296 before shipping. Call him up and see what the deal is. Let me know what he says.

Re: New Optispark? Is this the entire Opti?

BLinindoll u have a 94 car so i think u have the non vented opti which is quite a bit more than 95-97 vented opti. im double checking with dal anyway.

1993-1994 optispark (non-vented) 10457702 $321.41

1995-1997 optispark (vented) 1104032 $230.97

those prices are gmpartsdirect not dal from shoebox's website. this just gives you an idea of the price difference.

so for the original poster yea u would need the more expensive non vented i guess. so $296 is probably accurate.

Re: New Optispark? Is this the entire Opti?

My buddy has a computer or scanner that is like $5,000, going to scan the entire car nd try to determine my miss before I spend $$$ on a new opti. My car has 28k, I know its not wear and tear....but prob moisture that is the problem if any. I drove the car today and no issues...I just dont want to blow $300 and have the same issue.

You wont be able to pick up a misfire on your 94. Needs to be OBD2 to see missfires. Has nothing to do with the scanner. The PMC in the vehicle is what matters.

My problem was NOT the opti, it was a ground wire.
