This link above shows a remaned opti spark with what seems like a too good to be true price IMO after seeing some rather high prices... The part number given is an AC delco unit.. My question is (because I honestly know really nothing about the lt1 optispark other than vented and non vented lol) does this look like a complete assembly? In other words, would I be able to take this and do a complete swap with mine (Plug and play)? It looks like he's sold quite a few of these with generally good feedback. But before I pull the trigger I'd like to know if there's anything else I should be looking for..

A few day's ago my car started running rough after being warmed up, it will go away after a few seconds but it seems inevitable that my opti is going bad.. I had a radiator hose blow right above it about a month ago and I have been waiting for a problem to arise, because it blew fluid all over the opti.. I'm going to check my ICM here in a few minutes but found this on ebay and saw a good price so I would like to know ASAP if it's worth buying.. Sorry about the long post. Thanks guys..

The seller is listing it as new, not re-manufactured.

At $52 + 10 bucks shipping, I'd say it's a very good deal.

On receipt, make sure the item is as advertised.

See that's what I'm worried about because when you type in the Manufacurer number for the OPTI, it comes up as a remaned ac delco unit.

thats a good price even for a chinese knockoff, although if its not chinese i don't know what it could be because delphi is the only one making new optis these days, so i thought i could be wrong.... id order it for a try, won't know unless you try

sscamino

Well I sent him a message. I'd like to know if it really is a GM unit before I buy because that 65 bucks could go to real one.

You know it is not a GM unit at that price. It's a knock-off.

Bah I'll be pissed if its in fact legit, I dropped $315 on a chevy performance opti during Summit's clearance 2 weeks ago.

Here's a little secret about "re-manufactured" goods:

Most products are made on high volume assembly lines. At the end of the line, they get tested. Ones that fail are set aside then checked out by a technician. These are the units that are sold as re-manufactured.

The difference is, these units have more work done to them by a human than the ones that passed testing on the original assembly line.

Often times, re-manufactured products exceed the build quality of the regular ones.

Having said this, time will tell if the linked ebay seller is selling the real McCoy GM 1104032 re-manufactured unit. If he is, it is certainly a good deal.

OK I got my sample yesterday. I was to busy to tear it down. It is not a GM part from what I saw so far. I may be wrong but I will know more when I get it torn down. Maybe later today.

It looks nice but many do that

I need to swap cams in the wifes car maybe I will put it in for some testing and hit the dyno for some high rpm hits

As the seller lists the item with the GM part number, he alludes to it being that GM part. Nowhere in his auction page does he say "just like the GM part" or "this is not an actual GM part".

This would allow you to say it's not as advertised and send it back for a refund.

His feedback really sux. Looks like the negatives that he has gotten were legit from reading his own replies to them too. Several for people getting aftermarket parts listed as oem. Several where he refused refunds, etc. I hope it works out for those of you who bought (or buy) one from that guy.

I sent the seller a question:

"As you list this item as new and include the GM part number, is it a GM part that will come in GM packaging."

His response:

"No this is a high quality aftermarket distributor."

There ya have it.

BTW it came in a package 100X better then the GM box
