Re: Rockauto.com
First car I bought with my own money was a 62 BelAir with a 327 and 2-speed w/OD. OD didn't work, and it still did 90 in first, 160 in second. Got one of those on my first rockauto magnet so, I like rockauto. I research part numbers before I order though.

Re: Rockauto.com
I checked rockauto for an Autolite 2150 rebuild kit, $40, just bought the same kit from ebay for $25. But I can't find my brake rotors anywhere less than rockauto, but I have a few more places to check first.

Re: Rockauto.com
I have, in the past, taken my parts list and prices from RockAuto to the local parts store, and asked them to match it. They did, but I got a surprising mix of brands.
Sometimes rebuild kits leave out the power valve. A 2-stage power valve would easily make the difference between a $25 and $40 kit. If it's the same brand and coverage, the eBay kit is a good deal ... as long as the kit is not so old that the parts are not alcohol-resistant.

Re: Rockauto.com
Agreed tgreese, this kit has a power valve, no biggee since I have several of them. As for age? They tell me it's maybe a couple of years old, but we'll see. There are places here in central Illinois that sell no-alcohol-added gasoline, it's what I use in the wagoneer since I don't drive it everyday, it stores beautifully.

Re: Rockauto.com
I use Rock Auto quite often, but as mentioned, you definitely have to watch the shipping costs. I always compare them to Advance Auto (online) because Advance Auto almost always has a 20-30% off deal.
