Hey all,
I know there have been many previous threads regarding the optispark in our cars, but I felt it would be beneficial to make a current thread detailing the situation.
It seems that the general consensus is that the AC Delco unit is the only real option. However, RockAuto is currently charging $375 for a reman AC Delco unit, and I know that many people (myself included) cannot drop this kind of money. For $375, you can literally buy a new (used) LT1.
I have heard great things about the Skip White units, and I placed an order with them several days ago. Just today, I received an email saying that they are completely out of stock, and that they are on back order from the manufacturer. As a result, they refunded my money. Subsequently, they have removed the LT1 distributor from their website.
My question is: what is my next best option? The optisparks sold by the parts stores (AutoZone, O'Reilly, Advance, etc.) seem to get horrible reviews. Even with a lifetime warranty, folks are recommending I stay away from these units. I am considering buying an opti from Summit, which seems to get good reviews.
What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Matt
