First of all, why would you take your car to pep boys just because it needs a fuel filter change?

I hope you realize that you can replace that in about 30 min yourself with hand tools.

As far as the rest, yeah if you pay a shop to replace the cap/rotor/plugs etc. you're definitely going to be raped.

Zones just got his opti from ebay, maybe you can PM him or he will chime in. There is Scoggin Dickey, Summit, Jegs, Jason Chromer at Sam Taylor Buick Cadillac, and many other sponsors on here carry opti's. But i might have an extra set of spark plug wires sitting at my house. If i do, ill ship them to you. All ill need is your address. Ill check when i get home from work.

If your on a budget, just search the for sale sections on these forums.

Ive bought a total of 4 Optisparks from here and cz28.com all have been functional.
