I'm seeing multiple locations: Crestview, FL (35 miles from Destin, FL); Opp, AL (99 mi. from Destin); Laurel Hill, FL (51 mi. from Destin). Just weird. Glad I got my Opti on April 18th... hope it lasts.

You could try and buy from Summit and then ask them to price match from ebay. Worth a shot

Yah, he's just pushing the LTCC kit that uses LS style coils. I had it on my LT1 and IT WORKED GREAT.

That sucks about thepartsladi. JUst 3 weeks ago, I got a pair of gray sunvisors for a hundred bucks. Very happy with the sale, price, parts and speed of shipment.

Many people are going the LSx ignition especially now that optis are an arm and a leg. The LSx is far FAR superior especially in reliability.

I just looked at thepartsladi's feedback. In the past month, she's had 41 negative postings, many for parts paid for and never even shipped.

Looks like whatever they had fell apart in the end. It happens...

Wow thats horrible.. it does happen tho. All good things must come to an end.

With that said, I might be needing to replace my opti soon. The LS1 conversion sounds Very good now... and for the price, it will outlast any opti. Thats hard to beat.

sad to see, she used to be one of the most reliable people for this. I ordered one from her a few years ago.

The LTCC kit does not remove the Opti. It still controls everything. The kit takes the high voltage out of it.

If I still had a LT1 today I'd be eyeing that new EFIConnection conversion stuff. It looks like a great idea.

Already went down that road researching the conversion and I'll skip the whole $1500+ part and run the number with my opti thank you

The OptiLadi is ThePartsPro cause the addy is the same and the entire listing is the same as TheOptiLadi listing 100 percent LOOK

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
OptiLadi ^^^^^^^^

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-96...item35a952cdea
PartsPro^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had the PARTSLADI in my watching list since April 1. I just click on it right now and matched the PARTPRO up and there selling all the same items as the Optiladi which you will see once you scroll down to the middle of the page << OptiLadi

Everything is the same " Items / Addy / Returns / Picture "

Wierd cause this is what I got since I sent a PM to her on Ebay

thepartsladi is out of the office until 05/31/2010 and may not be able to respond to your message.


Message from thepartsladi:
We are Not taking orders or shipping at this time.
850-398-3029

Anyways I just messaged PartsPro asking if there taking over for the OptiLadi or if they are the OptiLadi but just going under a different name .
