Go to ebay and search for "Thepartladi". You can get a genuine acdelco/delphi unit from her for cheaper than anywhere else. There are cheaper ones out there but they are junk, she sells legit genuine units. I and many others are running the genuine delco/delphi Opti's from her successfully so I would highly recommend.

I am getting a MSD opti tomorrow morning. Baxter's has it in stock an hour from my house! Cheaper than Summit before shipping, WTF! I hope it is solid. I talked with a MSD tech today for 20 min. about the problems I have read and he says they are all taken care of. The price still makes me sick, but I can't wait for thepartsladi and GM wants $525 for a AC/Delco. I am confident, or at least trying to justify, that the MSD will if nothing else seal out water better (1 seal versus 2) becuase it is going on a 4x4 that will probably expose the opti to water. Good luck!

+1 never heard anything good about accel. Doesn't summit just put their name on accel's opti? I THINK that's what I heard....
OP i'm pretty sure my cousin spent over $1k on an opti swap...Labor+opti, but that shop has always been a bit pricey..as you can tell haha.
