    I waste 90% of my day here and all I got was this stupid title

    Attn: Parts ordering gurus.

    Best/cheapest place, to get A catalytic converter from, for a 1987 Chevy El Camino, V8 & also the oxygen sensor?

    I have checked ebay/partsgeek but, the cheap $60 ones, won't sell here in cali, maybe some of you have a hook up or another site?

    TIA.

          And that's the stealer!

          We used to charge $80 (one hour) at TNG.

            I have done it 2 or 3 times including a shop in NOR CAL that specializes in Ferraris because it was the only euro dealer near this guys house, and all three times the most I paid was $76 bucks

            I usually go onto summit find the part number I need, and then cross reference on Amazon which in this case also blocks sale in CA but sometimes they dont, but then in this case its sold on eBay without restriction.

                        whilst trying to get a "cheap" deal you're always best off looking outside the communities, rare that someone who knows the (market) value of something sell it for less, but it happens in hard times.

                          since im parting out my eta (due to the accident) i need to ask, does anyone have a flat lot i can use for a day (maybe 2 or 3) to take the entire car apart (with the help of some buddies) then have ill have it towed away and out of my hair. The reason i cant do it at home is because my driveway is at a slope and i cant get under the car properly. In return i will buy some pizza and beer??
                          anyone!!!???

                              that zinno paint i bought a few months ago has finally been put to use on my front bumper and i'm very pleased with the outcome.

                              i'm hoping i can sell my eta and my e46 and start fresh with a clean late model 325is

                                I hope the place you got your rack from wasn't expecting a core. I got mine from rackdoctor and they may give me $40 for my pos.

                                Gonna re-read the guide and make sure I have everything, and will start after dinner. Friday I will get my new tires mounted and the car aligned. And then off to the meet!
