I'll second that about NAPA. They are the first place that I go to for
parts. I use B&K Automotive in Pontiac, Michigan and they are very
knowledgeable and helpful, there is a gal and 3 guys and they all have a
good bit of knowledge. If they don't have it, they will check all of their
sources for availability, if this fails then I go to the mail order vendors.
