Re: Rockauto.com
But Graham..where was the mention of the crap distributor Rock Auto sold you in 2012? You remember..the one that stranded you in Palestine, Texas?

Re: Rockauto.com
Maybe that was the reference to quick replacements (although if I recall he sourced one locally) ;) But, giving RockAuto their due, I've bought a lot for my cars from them and have not had any problems. Their web site is a great research tool too.

Quote:In all fairness, that suspect distributor came from another major auto supply store in Detroit, not Rock Auto.....however, Rock Auto did supply my current Duraspark distributor and all is well, so far! .......will never forget the failure event in Palestine, TX nor the kind folks that helped me get the car back on the road.

Re: Rockauto.com
We stopped, in Dan's Toyota Escort Van. But Graham's car was mobbed by blue oval enthusiasts and we saw we were redundant, so we went on.

Re: Rockauto.com
Paul - I think he's talking about on the rockauto link Carl posted... Graham's car is no longer there... it's apparently a living newsletter & that section now highlights a 61 Cadillac instead of his car.

Re: Rockauto.com
Rob, Thanks for the clarification. Graham had me concerned and I thought the world was coming to an end.
