Delphi vs ACDelco Coils (huge price difference, why?)
Can anyone explain why the price between these are so much different? Is the delphi actually NOT a delphi, but some knockoff?

$14 a piece vs. $66??
I recognize that Delphi was the spinoff/sold off portion of GM, but is this legit? Anyone ran these????

Yea, there was one set of "visual defect" Delco's for cheap. And a lot that say Delco, but when you go in and read they say Delphi. If you go on JEGS or Summit, or any other major store, they are the $66 /piece variety..

On the same vein of thought I do not understand GM's pricing. There is a big disparity in pricing with similar parts. These coils being an example. Electric fuel pumps is another. One can be $125 and the next one $300. Fortunately for me the $125 one was what I needed and had more gallons per minute.

i took that directly from the ebay link you posted.
i like this topic as i am looking to purchase ls2 coils for my Holley valve covers.
my questions are:
are these factory rejects because they didnt function properly or because they are visually scratched/blemished ? does Delphi still sell non-functioning coils to retailers like on ebay ?
if these are factory seconds because of a small cosmetic blemish, i'm still going to purchase them, if there is a chance they will not function properly .. i'm going to purchase a used set.

Interested also. There seem to be a few places selling coils. Many claim OEM, but it seems reality doesnt always match those claims.
I bought a set of 8 incl brackets off ebay, the coils are un-marked, no part numbers and have black epoxy. They were sold as new GM takeoffs, but strangely each bracket assembly was bagged as if a new part. Not a takeoff.
And after fitting discovered 2 coils do not work.
I'm now in the situation where I dont trust the rest of the coils, and looking for replacements.
Delco, Delphi I'm happy to buy. These are well known OEM brands. I see others though, Herko ?
Herko sell on ebay, but advertise their product as ACDelco coils, which seems very misleading to say the least.
Is there another company, Standard Ignition ? Who are they ?
