<VV> Caveat and Question : Does Amazon have the correct starter drive?

[Charlie]

Yes, I know member vendors have them, but thanks for the tip ;>~}

"Where to find them" was not the question.

I wanted to know if anyone else has tried successfully to buy Corvair parts
from Amazon, and what part number they found for the late model starter
drive?

I was surprised to find the same part that is sold at AutoZone on the Amazon
site, for half the price, still saving $10 after paying for shipping!
AutoZone could not get the part, while NAPA, O'Reilley's, Clark's and
Underground would take about a week. 

Underground and Clarks (and I would gladly prefer and patronize club
members!) could not even take my order until the following Monday, while
Amazon delivered it Sunday morning (for about the same price including
shipping.)

I got a used part from a friend so all is well, but I want to know if Amazon
has the correct part to replace the wrong part?

I have found them at Underground and Clarks. No problem.

Of course, I am two day shipping from Clarks with regular shipping. With Lon
I have not had as much luck getting things fast.

This is a Corvair only part, and why we need to support our vendors that
invest so much money in Corvair only parts.

I'm sure John Sweet and the Corvair Ranch also stock this part, and don't
forget Rafee. I get quick shipping from him. He is halfway between you and
me.
