Good GM Parts Source - Amazon.com

Just wanted to pass this along. Seems that with Dal out of the picture i've had trouble with parts vendors. RMS is just too slow on delivery.

So... this buyer on Amazon, AC Direct, has delivered on time and at a good price for several items for me in the past few months:

Just do a search of the GM part number on Amazon and these guys usually have it. I just ordered some pigtails and hydraulics for my up-coming T56 Wagon part two. Prices were right, hopefully they deliver as quickly as they did my brakes and spark plugs...

I have no affilliation with the seller...

We've got a parts guy in the Northeast. His name is Chris McCabe and he works at Banks Chevrolet in Concord, NH. 603-223-1671. He ships parts. He's a good guy. We've had him doing this for probably 6-7 years now. You can tell him you're with BADASS of NE or just the Impala club. He's building a 78 Coupe on a 95 9C1 frame right now.

I don't think that's the same part. It's listed as "Same as Delco blah blah blah".

Also, the epoxy plastic stuff is black instead of that beautiful putty color of the original.

Not saying it isn't a quality part, it just doesn't appear to be the same as the Delco unit.

Here's the link I'm basing all this on:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-96-97-OPTISPARK-DISTRIBUTOR-CORVETTE-CAMARO-FIREBIRD_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3911Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem5ad29ea7daQQitemZ390080669658QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

That's because the Delphi part number has supersceded the Delco. Delphi builds parts for GM as everyone already knows.

Aside form the "color" of the cap the parts of both optis are IDENTICAL.

She gets the Delcos from time to time and they are still less than $300.

No problem - just wanted to provide a few prices using the exact same part numbers - apples to apples and such. I was making no editorial on the quality of the parts based on the epoxy color.

Again, just sharing a decent vendor with decent prices for you guys.

As was I.

No harm, no foul.
