Where to get uncommon parts??

I need an oil level sensor and a crank position sensor for a 3.4.

Anyone know any good online parts places? The oil level sensor doesnt seem to be too common, none of the local shops can even get one.
(This is not a "WTB", I am looking for some insider tips on good engine parts suppliers.)

Thanks!

most places can get the crank position sensor, but the oil level sensor is more difficult to find. Napa has both for 45 bucks each!

I found them on rockauto.com and autopartsgiant.com for about $55 total.
I think Im gonna go with one of those, I just wish I didnt have to wait a week for them. oh well...

oh, and I talked to a couple local salvage places... The only motors they had were complete, and they didnt want to rob the sensors from the complete engine.

I got an oil sender unit from like Autozone. It did take like 5 days to get it but they got it.

never needed a crank positioning sensor... but try autozone as well...

Advance Auto has the oil sensor in stock, and anything they don't have in the store they can have the next day from the warehouse, even if it's a weekend.

autozone couldnt even get the oil level sensor.
I dont like advanced. (they couldnt get it either)
Napa too expensive.

O'Reilly's hooked me up! Cheap as the online places and had the parts next day. Never been in one before, it just opened... They earned my business though...
