Thanks, I forgot the website. I was trying to remember it but couldn't on my own.

I had lost it for a while too.
There is another site that is very similar to this one but with different results.
I hope someone here knows it.

p.s. thanks for your help on the welding stuff

Wow you can locate practically any part on that site! Good stuff!!!

Sorry =(
 
I can beat every price found by 50% - 85%. :eek:
That is a website I avoid. :)

How do you make parts available? do you have a website? what is your business?

I am a professional master mechanic.
The prices listed on the website are terrible.
A small amount of research will locate cheaper parts.
My local salvage yards beat most listed prices that I checked by 50%.
Try this, 1974 AMC Gremlin 232, head.
Local:
232 rebuilt head is $120.00
A used head is $40.00

I am cutting back this year from eighteen too only seven car clubs, I don't have time to play the parts game, except where it applies to vehicles I work on.

gotcha. I read your post and it sounded like you sell used parts. I know what you mean about the prices on that website. My local parts house sells NEW parts at wholesale prices that beat the used prices there.
Thanks for info. I appreciate all the tech advice I read on your posts.
Mike
