Default Buying optispark from "thepartsladi"

My buddy is looking for an optispark for his '97 formula. I've heard thepartsladi on ebay is the cheapest around for a genuine GM/delphi opti. I can't seem to find any on their store or on ebay at all really...also wondering if the GM performance one the same thing/comperable?


(here's the listing for it on summit)http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ACF-1104032/

thanks guys

I think I would buy from the parts ladi or just buy a summit or jegs opti. no sense in spending that much on an opti that seems to be hit or miss.

Im not sure why their full page isnt showing up. I bought one from her 5 days ago. Its excellent quality and a true Delphi unit. I recommend them completely.

true and false from what I've heard. The word i've been hearin is that GM/Delphi is the way to go hands down(and the parts ladi has the lowest prices ). It seems that more aftermarket (whether it be an Accel, MSD, Jegs, Summit, or a Chinese made special) are more likely to fail and have people complaining all over the web. It may be hit and miss, yes, but not as much with a legit AC delco/delphi unit. I'd rather pay for a GM unit to begin with, rather than a "made in china" special AND THEN a GM opti after the cheap junk fails...

As for the partsladi's page, that all I was finding was those 6 items, so I didn't think I was doing something right, but I geuss not...geuss I'll havta check back in a few days

thanks fellas
