While we're griping about vendors, I need to say that I've sure gotten poor
service from Jim Carter's. I called twice to request a used part (which
they said they had). Both times they said they'd call back with the item
and the price. I've never heard a word from them. Another reason I use
Obsolete Chevrolet Parts Company in Nashville, GA. Never had even a small
problem with them.
