Delco parts question

I needed to order a couple parts for my build, but needed to know a good place online to get delco parts cheaper.


1995-1997 steam pipe behind heads, incl bolts and seals 12556260 $24.91

Saw this on shoebox, but needed to know if i needed 2 additional seals for the banjo bolts. (1993-1997 coolant steam pipe seals 10108689 $3.00 )


Also needed to buy a oil dipstick.

1995-1997 oil dipstick tube 12551154

So where is the good online delco parts source. I figured I would go this way to save a few bucks, since I dont need these parts immediately.

I use this site a lot for my factory parts http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/catalog/frameset.cfm

but where you got the price of $24.91 for the steam pipe is a good deal, I'd go there if I were you - it's $43.86 at the site I use

where did you get that price from?

It's too much trouble to keep the hundreds of parts prices on my site updated. It is noted on there that they are subject to change. Since prices are so rapidly going up and most of the posted prices are years old, maybe I should just drop the prices from the list.

For ac-delco parts I've had good experiences with ac-direct.com

However, I don't think those things you listed are ac-delco parts.

Agree. If you need GM parts talk to Jason Cromer or use gmpartsdirect.com (if you can handle the shipping rates).

shoebox, I wasn't complaining about the info on your FAQ I was pointing out to the guy asking about the prices that they were old prices.

I've gotten pretty much all of my GM stuff from Jason. The prices are good, the response time is good and, unlike some of the internet sites, the shipping is very reasonable.

Yeah, I took it the way you meant it. I was just saying that perhaps taking off the prices might avoid confusion. The prices are more helpful when they are current. They might have outlived their usefulness.
