DON'T get the Snap-on, it's too short. go to www.impalasuperstore.com you can get them there or you can buy and entire kit. Opti (complete), socket, T8 driver, and ignition module or buy each of what you need. I bought mine at a wholesale store (made in Taiwan) in a set for $4.95. The brand name was MIT. If you have any flea markets in your area, go there.
