On eBay, do a search for "thepartsladi." Best price around on new GM optisparks.

Have you replaced all your other optisparks with these kinds...low dollar non OEM ones? If so, that is more likely than not why you are tired of doing them. You get what you pay for and the partsladi has the OEM replacements at a great price. Anything else is asking for trouble or potentially more work.

I like how they list the GM number, then a little farther down it says:

"Replaces GM #"
