Default Is $265 a good price for a Optispark and a few other parts?
I am going to be changing the optispark and other ignition components on my car and wanted advice on the price of a few items. if you know of any better deals I would appreciate it. BTW the car is a 94 B4C
Thanks Chris

First the Optispark for $265 + $12 shipping
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...1%7C240%3A1318

Second a combo of MSD plugs and NGK TR55 plugs for $117 shipped..he said he has sold on LS1Tech before
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MSD-L...1%7C240%3A1318

Finally a MSD Coil for $50 shipped

Heres the link to the $40 plug wires. http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/40225/10002/-1
Thanks for the help Travis I ended up getting the NGK plugs, Jegs wires and a MSD coil from Jegs for $120 shipped. Now I just need the Opti and shbox I am going to stick with a Delphi opti instead of a off brand.

I would go with the ebay link opti you have listed. the partsladi is well respected for selling genuine Delphi opti's unlike other sellers on ebay.

Yes go with the Delphi opti from thepartsladi. The one I'm using now is from them (for a '95-'97 of course).
Do NOT get a Summit, Jegs, or any other non OEM opti.

Don't forget to thread lock the rotor screws.
