I bought an optispark harness from them. They're great to deal with and have fast shipping! Their cost of the vented opti harness is $37.00 compared to GM's $130.00!

What's the connector look like on yours? Is it a black or white connector? What color is the wire coming from it? Some of the connectors are universal and have both wires on them. all you have to do is wire up the same color to yours and tape off the one that is not used.
