Where can I get flywheel shims?

I checked with NAPA today when I picked up my re-surfaced flywheel but they don't carry shims. I checked online with Autozone and they don't have them listed either.

Anyone know where I can get them?????

Thanks,
Dave

NAPA has them, you just have to ask for them a different way. Get some for a thirdgen 305, but make sure you take the flywheel to them so that you can see if it matches.

They only sell .025 and .050 though.

I picked mine up from a local tranny shop.

You're right!!!!!!!! After calling 10 different places and getting nowhere I tried NAPA again. At first the lady said no dice, then I asked her to look up an '89 Camaro with the 305...viola.."I can't believe it, yes we do carry them!" So I drove out there and the guy behind the counter gave me more of the same, no we don't, I said yes you do, he said "huh, you're right, we do!"

So Ion, props to you as I would be sol right now!!!
