OK so I need a new one for the 67 Bel 1. the right one. not the one with 2 ears for the 62-5, but the one eared common as dirt ( used to be)..... ONE;.... after work in springfield, mo. I stop at an O Reilly to get a few parts this starter relay, included.
I had aleady looked it up in their computer site. NONE listed for 67 ! ha yea right. but look it up for 70. there it is $10.99.. call for "availability"! the counter guy pulls one out, the 2 eared early one! $ 15.99 maybe the early ones costs more? I take it, need it for the 64 dart that will pretty soon get an engine ( used no doubt!)...... YES, it takes the early relay 2 eared ones......BUT>....counter guy says " I can have the other one here from warehouse at 3 pm. NO i'm one way home... 60 mi.
Ha.. so I get home call local O Reillys. yep, $10.99 BUT it is NOT in any of their warehouses, has to come from Borg Warner. $18.99 is the cost! ya pay shipping, we don't stock it! bahahahahha. bull s***! so why does Springfield guy say he will have it in his hand at 3??? " guy musta made mistake"> ok.......
I call the local private sorta parts store. can have it in a m .... price is $15.00..... O K order it!
NOW, just for giggles, I look it up in Classic Ind. cat. there it is $9.99 ... they even show the 2 difference types, auto and stick,... NOT O Reilly.... BUT we know they will charge me $15 extra for shipping, handling, boxing, and care. right! ha ha ha ha........
I have to admit , it is getting to where the fun factor is drying up, especially every time i deal with this crap. .... over priced parts, new but BAD parts, sorry Chinese junk, not available, I pay shipping because O Reilly does not "stock" it.... etc etc etc.....????
NOW, I relize I have TOO many old mopars I piddle with. I can haul home a $500 car home , put 5000 hrs of my labor in it, $4000 of parts and materials, and if I try to sell one off the herd, price it for $2000.... and no one even looks! ha.
I have to wonder, how much drama and trama would I have if I ordered an engine overhaul kit!???????????????? bahahaahhahahahha
