: Performance
: (http://www.jp.com.au/Performance.html),
: call the Cox Brothers (wonderful folks to
: deal with) 614- 268-9920, FAX 614-268-9930

: For the Cloyes set contact your local NAPA

: I ordered the parts from NAPA and they came
: back and told me those parts actually come
: in a kit.
: The number on my box is 168SA-7 and it fit like
: a glove on my 225, BUT the dots were off and
: I had to drill it to install a 4 degree
: bushing to get my cam to the 106 spec I
: needed.
:
: Just to let everyone know you don't have to
: order 3 separate parts any more.

: Cool up-date DI, Napa dealers are everywhere.
: How much are they getting for this set??
: DD

: Unfortunately mine ran about $45, but
: considering Earnhardt's Dodge charged me
: $43+6(SHI) for a mopar roller chain it isn't
: that bad of a price...
:
: -D.Idiot

: I went to my local NAPA store to order the
: Cloyes roller set #168SA-7 and they quoted
: me a price of $99.51 for the three pieces
: individually. They also said the set number
: is not in their system.

: tell that kid behind the counter to get a real
: car.
: Using Doc's list of sprockets I originally
: tryed to order those parts individually, the
: clerk came back that his 'vendor' reports
: that they come as a kit. The only markings
: on my box say 168SA-7.
: The people at my local Napa have been very good
: and patient to get the 'specialty' parts I
: need to build up my slant. Maybe they should
: check for the part number under the 'Echlin'
: (aka 'blue catalog') or under AVCO
: automotive products...
:
: At least you didn't try to ask them for an 8
: 1/4" rear diff rebuild kit...

: -D.Idiot

: I forgot to mention that was the second store I
: tried. The first I had called and the kid
: was clueless to what I was talking about. He
: was tring to sell me a stock set. A complete
: idiot., (no offense) Anyhoo, I think I will
: try a couple more stores until I find
: someone who knows how to look up parts. 63GT
