+1 for "thepartsladi" on ebay.
I bought my AC Delco for $280 shipped.
I bought my buddy's Delphi (also OEM) for $230 shipped.
Their prices can't be beat, comes in original packaging, arrives in about a week.

That still doesn't beat $280 shipped for an AC Delco and $230 shipped for a Delphi. As I said before, "thepartsladi" prices can't be beat. That's the only way to go. I have bought from them twice and I have been completely satisfied.

I posted this as a secondary option! The parts lady is cheaper, but are they true delco products? The website I gave is 100% gm parts. There is no tax on internet order's.

I see. Yes, they are true GM products. My distributor came in a AC Delco box. The Delphi (took over OEM manufacturing for AC Delco) came in a Delphi box. I have atleast ~6K miles on my distributor since the install with no problems. I have seen the cheap stuff () trust me, these are genuine products.
