Can't see the links, its giving a server error. But I don't think that you can get an OEM replacement from NAPA. Only way to get one quickly is to go to the dealer and bend over.

You said you need it now, did the WP already cause the opti to fail? What about the partsladi on ebay, if you have time to order and the car isn't hard down.....yet? Gl

theparstladi was where i looked first, nothing in online store and tons of bad reviews i dunno what happened to them. The car started missing bad yesterday and backfiring. I took it to my buddies shop and their diagnostic caught opti codes. The waterpump is leaking down onto it so im sure its only a matter of time. I need the car up and running by friday for work. I drive it all day long so i gotta get it started today.

If anyone has links or help i can use, please post it up for me i need to get this goin asap.

I got a Delphi from thepartsladi a couple of weeks ago. My impressions of it here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...partsladi.html

and if you want to vent the 92-94 cap & beef up the rotor, here's a howto (2 part pdf file, had to split it):

https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-m...-94-folks.html

The one I got was probably made in Mexico, but it was all there, good quality components and put together right. Couple of fingerprints here and there, but still solid for $307.00 shipped.

Holy smoke... looks like they went belly-up this week. No more partsladi. Shame- they were a reliable and trusted resource for this community for years.

I had a look at the Napa catalog and it looks like the reman (NRD 481832) might be ok, ask to look at it. The encoder should have the 3-diamond Mitsubishi logo on it and say J924 in raised letters. That'll let you know it's at least got the right electronic part. The wheel should not be warped when you turn it by hand, using the spline to rotate it. This part is without the cap & rotor, of course. They also carry the MSD unit, but they're so expensive they're likely going to have to order it overnight due to being a non-stocked item.

$508.00 + tax for OE reman & OE cap/rotor
$569.00 + tax for the MSD

I'd go the MSD route... sorry to hear of your trouble.
