I'm not sure what you're willing to pay but I have one or you can find them on ebay for cheap. Jason Cromer sells them new for about $200. The one I have is dirty on the outside but worked fine when I took it out at about 70k miles. I bought a new one because I misdiagnosed a problem that turned out to be an aftermarket ignition system. I was going to keep it as a spare but I really don't need it. I'll prolly go to the coil pack system also. Make me an offer and I can ship it to ya.

Dave

BTW my zip is 95834 so you can estimate shipping costs.

It sounds to me like you should try to find someone local who could lend you one. Or do like I did and bite the bullet and get a new one since it is such a pain to replace. I'm not in a hurry to sell so just let me know if you are still interested but it sounds like you are better off dealing local.

Hmm, I use to see a bunch of these on ebay but now I only see one that cam off a blown up motor. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
Looks like he wants $100 and no bites. $80 + shipping might be a fair price. If you don't want it that's ok. I should probably keep it since I have 2 cars that run it but I'll sell it to ya and help you out if you decide to get it from me. I know where to get more if I need one so no biggie. I'm kinda surprised that no one else spoke up. It is ready to ship if you want it.

Yours won't work on a '95. You may want to do the vented opti conversion. Search the archives or post up in the LT1 engine forum for instructions. The vented setup is much better and most last at least 70 or 80 k mi. Some longer depending on where you live.

This one has 1,000 miles on it and he wants around 100.......yours has 70,000 and you want 80.....seems pretty high. Shoot me your best price and I may buy it.
