Optispark; Petris or supposed new Delphi?
After searching and searching and not finding a NOS AC Delco optispark for my 93, i´m torn between a Petris optispark and the Delphi one that is posted on ebay and the seller says it is new.
I know the first one is vented and claimed to has the Mitsubishi optical sensor; also i read a lot on the internet about Mr. Petris (mostly good), but someone has experience with this distributor?
Does the Delphi distributor has the Mitsubishi optical sensor? The seller couldn´t answer that....
Someone using it?
On the other hand, i don´t trust in the remanufactured Ac Delco optisparks posted all over the internet.
As i live outside US, it´s not easy to return a part.
thanks in advance

Here are pics of a Petris disassembled
The grinding and debris were in there when I opened it. This has less than 5 minutes runtime on it. Never even got it out of park before pulling it off.

You should recheck the wording from Petris. Last I checked it said "Mitsubishi quality sensor" or something to that effect. Essentially it's an over priced cheap part store opti. Of those two choices I would go with Delphi. The chandler opti sounds interesting. I have heard good things about it, though I have no experience with it.

I just found a new ac delco (not a NOS).
Corvette America has it and they confirm that is a new delco distributor.
It´s probably the same part that delphi with other brand. maybe.....
I ´ll go for one of those two.
thanks
