Napa, Autozone, pretty much any place should have them. Got mine at Autozone... If they said they don't have them, they're full of ****. The guy had to go into the area behind the counter and look through a cabinet of them to find the correct size. Took him like 90 seconds.

Go back there and beat him roughly about the head and shoulders until he submits and does his job...

It's not that no one else could get them. No one else would get them. It's a standard part that any general auto parts store can carry, or can get from one of their many suppliers. Unfortunately a lot of these places hire lazy kids that don't want to look for something if it's not hanging right in front of their faces. They are for lack of a better term, useless people.

Yep, if you're not able to walk in and say "I need a part for a 1978 Gremlin", or whatever, they can't make the connection. So, even if they have the part on the shelf, they won't recognize it as what you are looking for.

Yep. Spoke to Chad today and gave him the Dorman part number. O'Reilley, by the box, is how I get them as well. All the other places would not order them.

For the next person searching......Dorman part number 555-101
