I'm an Amzoil dealer, I've never sold or bought anything yet.
I was going to order a bunch of stuff next week for the Sprite as I geta
tranny and put it the whole thing back together again.
Let me know if there is anything you may want or if you need a flyer on the
various products.
I'll be a learning experience for ordering somthing. I can order your
stuff as though it's mine to get you a break on price.
