I'm baised, but I use National Parts Depot (since I work there) When I owned my 72 years ago, I also used Original Parts Group.

www.nationalpartsdepot.com or 800-874-7595
www.originalpartsgroup.com or 800-243-8355

$25 for shipping?? Unless you live in Hawaii, I think that's a little high, or are you quoting something other than ground ups? I've worked there for 6 years and we are usually pretty price competitive, including the shipping fee. If we are higher on a part by more than a few dollars than another company, there is usually a very good reason for it (quality). If you want to, e-mail or pm me about it and I'll be glad to look into it.

Nope I live in outside Chicago and ordered it from the Michigan location. I didnt get a break down but the guy told me is was $50.52 total. I was busy while ordering it so I didnt get to ask him to break it down. I ordered it standard ground. Guess Ill have to see when I received the bill for it.
