Back in 1961, I spent a whole dollar to buy "British and Continental Car
Parts 1961/62". It is a 128-page parts catalog of original equipment
which was published for regional Beck distributors. It has the
manufacturer's part numbers for Hipolite pistons and rings; Payen
gaskets and oil seals; Burgess silencers and tail pipes;
Tompson-Whiteley waterpumps,tie rods, and universals; Ferodo brake and
clutch linings and fan belts; Girling brake parts; Lockheed brake
parts; Borg & Beck clutches; Lee-Healey radiator hoses; Ransome &
Marbles, British-Timpkin ball and roller bearings; Lucas ignition;
Terry valve springs; James valves and guides; Vanderwall engine
bearings; Wilmott ring gears; Purolator oil filters; and Tex wiper
motors.
Over the years, I also hung on to the 1976 and 1979 Sears Imported Car
Parts Catalog. These three catalogs have proven invaluable in sourcing
parts through cross-referencing, particularly in the lean years when
they were hard top find. Also, they are great for finding NOS at
auto-jumbles when even the dealers are challenged to know what part fits
what car(s).
