I want a AC Delco unit. The cheapest I can find is about 360.00 on ebay. Its been about 4 years since I bought one and the last one I bought was around 180.00 have they gone up that much? Any leads on a cheaper source?

You could try going used. I found some 40-50.00 on craigslist. That's the route I would take.

In a lot of cases I'm on board with a used part since they have proven that they work already. However, I've been around the block enough times with Opti's that I know better. I appreciate the offers and input but I think a new one is the best route.

I picked one up from summit w/ 2-day shipping for ~$400. The AC Delco unit from them is $380 but if you need it quickly, summit is the best way to go IMO.

I got a chandler opti for $90 shipped and I got it in 2 days. I'll buy 5 of chandlers before I ever spent $400 on a delco. Well thats a lie, EFI 24x kit is next in line for my summer mods

$400 for an opti is just crazy IMO, hopefully the chandler part will last a couple months and then I'll make the switch to the EFI Connections kit

A few in my area are running Chandler's with no issues. My formula has one and it has been going strong since November.

My brother has a 93 z28 and he got a pretty decent deal on ebay. He was skeptical, but so far so good.

Ebay is where i got the current one. It did at least tell me the car would still start and that it has no other major flaws (it was recovered from a fountain 4 years ago and hasnt run since). The cheapo from ebay only lasted about 3 hours but I think it was a good waste of 60 bucks. I'm gona send it back for one more replacement. I'd like to see the car live a little longer to see if there are any other kinks that need worked out and then I may sink the money into a GM unit or go the Delteq route. By the way, Rob - Shoebox, thanks again for all for all of your help!

I have a chadler in my car and i just recently finished installing one in my friends 93' Camaro with ZERO issues. The cap on his (newer) was better then the one i put in my car afew months back. Just make sure you prep it properly

As much of a pita as the opti is to change I couldn't bring myself to cheap out on it.

And just because you spend $400 on a GM unit doesn't gaurantee that its going to last. Look at all of the guys that spend lots of $$$ on the MSD kit and they have tons of problems.
