Re: GM Opti-spark Alternative
Yeah, normally when you buy replacement opti it doesn't come with the cap and rotor. It only comes with the internals. A guy I know though has a part number for AutoZone where they screwed up and it gives you both the opti and the cap and rotor for about the same price. Pretty cool, but I might just go ahead and buy the GM one anyway. How come the vented one is $100 LESS than the non vented one??? It doesn't even make sence to get the non vented one. Even after the cost of the vacuum harness for the vented one, it's still cheaper then stickin with the frigged up non vented one.... WTF?!?!?!

$289 is the Summit price for the FULL vented Opti. You could have bought it from Dal Slabaugh or Jason Cromer for quite a bit less. Check out Shoebox's Tech Pages for "Where to buy GM parts". I think Dal is around $229 and Jason at $239 for the same part #.
