I put a premium NAPA unit in my 98 about two years ago and have had zero problems or leaks. I believe it was around $65-85.

I bought a brand new Omix-Ada for my 96. New casting,
not rebuilt. It leaked oil at the base where it meets with the
block. I put a double gasket with sealer on it, and it stopped the leak. So if you get that brand, check the block
mating flange for being square with the shaft.

I got one from crown automotive about a year ago. It was around $113 for a new distributor, new casting etc. Haven't had any issues with it.
I double checked the indexing(the known renix issue) a couple months ago, it was pretty much spot on.
For the price, I don't think I'd even consider a reman, especially when the quality is so hit or miss.

Why? Is it really cheap? I was at a popular off road store and a large selection of what they had was omix-ada.

Omix-Ada = over priced crap.
