who to call for opti

[rufrider76]

i went to auto zone to check out the "new" "complete" optispark that they said theu had. it was just the guts and when i took the cover off it was not even new internals. they still had dirt and grim on the internal parts. so i walked of course but now i need a optispark for my 94 trans am gt and the local dealer want 695. i know there is someone on here that has them for 295.00 but i can not find the number any where. please help i am ready to drive my baby agian

Call Jason Cromer at Sam Taylor. 1-877-726-8295

Parts

Check to see if yours is vented/non-vented. Probably non-vented

[Injuneer]

94 is NON-vented.

Also consider:

Dal Slabaugh at Van DeVere Olds
lockitup@bright.net
800-362-9494

He sometimes has better prices than Cromer.

The link says: Non-Vented LT1 Opti Spark p/n 10457702 - $319.00, but it might be cheaper.

I just got mine in yesterday, for my weekend project opti install #2.

[rufrider76]

got it thru jason. should be here wed. it was 319.00 and i am not complaining it is a whole lot better then the 695 the dealer here wanted. he even went as far as sayiong it cost them moree then that. i said okay..so much for supporting your local dealer. oh well i am sure jason sells a million of them thanks to us. thanks for the help guys. oh the seals on the timing cover. is the instructions somewhere on replacing them. i bought the whole kit yesterday so i have them all. i also am putting on a electric water pump so will be plugging the waterpump shaft hole. i bought 2 freeze plugs that match the seals that came in the kit. one is a perferct match but the other is a little big. i am sure if i have learned anything in life that the one that is 1.25 inchs is the one for the water pump and i will be griding it all weekend long to make it work. as for the other are there any trick to getting them out or putting them back. and do i really need to do the one to the crank pully. there is no leaks but since i have it apart and have the part to do it i think i am going to. thanks

GMpartsDirect.com (Flow Chevrolet in N.C.) site is good for getting an idea of parts pricing, and even a picture and description, but be carefull about the handling and shipping charges for EACH item you buy, they give you a low price for the part, and then make it up, and then some on S & H.

I use Dal, cause he is a good ole Ohio boy like me!
