Default where to buy opti-spark

well after further testing it looks like my opti has craped out, so i need to know where the best place to buy one and what's the best brand to buy
and while i've got it apart is there anything else i should consider replacing such as coil and or icm (or whatever it's called that's nounted near the coil)

thanks
brad

I didn't think they put an opti on the f-bodies until mid 80's? Or is this not for the vehicle labeled in your garage?

K, I just new how they had to tweak it a little bit from early models and assumed it had been out a few years prior. But stick with Delphi/AC Delco units.

one of our site sponsors sells optis for under 200 bucks. chandlermotorsports. msd and gm performance are the best opti's but you pay for it. put a new water pump in if its old. dont want it leaking on a new opti and ruining it.

I just read through the vendors pages, I too am looking to replace my opti here soon. It seems this vendor has a good track record but have you used them or know anyone who has that can provide an actual feedback on the product? Still unable to locate an actual brand or name behind their product on the pages I've looked at. It all just says Chandler motorsports, could possibly mean they manufacture their own units?
