OEM Parts at Autozone?
This last wekk I needed two replace two ignition coils that were on the way out. I was at Autozone picking up some gear oil and I asked them what they had for ign coils for the vette. The guy pulled out a Duralast box, Autozone's in store brand, so I expected to see a cheap chinese part but to my surprise it was a oem Denso unit. Part numbers matched up with the exception that the new coils have black silicone insulation vs the stock beige. They actually look better. They were $45ea with a 2yr warranty, which is actually a pretty good price. Even GMDirectParts have them for $49. Just thought I'd share this in case anyone was in need for some new coils. I even picked up some LS1 lifters from Autozone a few months ago that were Melling pieces. Melling is a good made in the USA manufacturer. Surprising what you can find in Autozone when you look. Not all their parts are for ricers. Lol

Sometimes OEM parts can be found at AutoZone, PepBoys and O'Reillys.
When I had my 2000 Firebird, I bought a Dayco lower a/c pulley and tensioner for my 2000 Firebird from PepBoys. My original was made in Canada just like the replacement. Both parts were identical.
The boxes that parts are packaged in sometimes mean nothing.
Glad you got your Vette fixed.
