I would get a stock ACDelco unit before I would buy that. I've never had issues with the ACDelco. If you go on ebay you can get them for a good price but make sure its legit not the elcheapo **** ones they sell on there.

theyre made different. atleast the 93-94 opti's are. on a factory 93-94 the drive pin is seperate. the summit opti has the drive made onto the center of the opti. the problem i've seen is, the cap doesnt seem to have as much clearance and the opti rubs up against it. anyone else had this problem???

Granted, this was a reman opti with an MSD Cap/Rotor on it. Same issue though, the drive pin was a little long, pushed the rotor into the cap, and BOOM!!!

the summit one is a reman one no matter what they say. we put a summit opti in a buddys and we just pulled it off 1k later bc it failed. we took it apart and it had finger prints all over it. summit is giving us a new one of course since there customer service is tip top
+1!!!!!!!!!!
I got an AC Delco opti from "thepartsladi" on ebay for $280 shipped
I bought a Delphi opti from the same place for a buddy for $230 shipped.
Both are OEM and came in the OEM packaging.
Just so you know, I bought a JEG's brand opti before I got the AC Delco, "looked" like OEM, but it failed after two weeks, rotor detached!!!
My buddy got an AllIgnition opti before he got the Delphi, rotor screws backed out on him as well.
OEM is the only way to go, go with 'thepartsladi".

i went with the delphi and from the sounds of it should be happy. I can't believe the Delco I had after 2yrs is failing, but from what I've finally found, its the source of my problem.
I remember buying Vented Delcos from Dal for $219 (they were $199 or less at one time). Now they're at least $313 + Core (except thepartsladi)
