Saw this thread on Ls1tech, Great price on New GM Optisparks.

i wonder if that's legit? it seems too cheap for a new one for some reason (they are discontinued, so they're rare, these days remans are usually the only option..)

I bought one as a spare, a spline drive opti. It looks like a new unit to me with no signs it was ever bolted to a engine. Has the same GM number in the side of the casting that my original opti has. Check out the pictures in that thread, that's just what it looks like.

Looked legit enough for me to buy one for a rainy day. Mitsubishi optical sensor confirmed.

If this is legit,then its a very good deal. I have 2 spare GM OPTIS,ONE HAS about 5k miles on it and the other about 97k. For anyone that is figuring on keeping their LT1 for more than a couple years and dosent have an extra,,I would say its a great deal. If you buy it and find out its an imposter ,I am pretty sure
Summit has a decent return policy, but please check with them before
you sign on the dotted line. ed :thumbsup:

well i called them and it definitely does sound legit. thanks for the tip, it's a nice coincidence, since mine is currently on the way out

Great price, but makes me wonder if GM is about to discontinue the opti as a spare part.

As a NEW part, apparently yes. The new part numbers (replacing our old, familiar ones) at GM for an opti are reman'd units.

I dont even know if I will still have this car by the end of the year, but I went on ahead and bought one anyway. To good to pass up on.
