Checkin' in...
As per CaptnPicards suggestion, I'm introducing myself. My name is Marc,
I've been selling wholesale auto parts for 23 years now, currently working
for Merle's Auto Supply (22nd/Sarnoff) in the phone room. I got pretty burned
out on cars for a while, but have been getting back into it since I bought my
new (to me) 87 Z-28. Now that I'm married with children, I don't have the
unlimited funds to play anymore, but I'm still havin' fun.
Anyway, greetings everyone!

Good deal! How's the drive to Wickenburg these days? When I lived in
Phoenix, it was a fun drive, but traffic has become much more of a nightmare
since those days.....

Marc,
We've spoken before via e-mail. We both live in Rita Ranch. In fact, I stopped at your store to buy a battery for my wife's mini-van this past summer. I checked out your car. 1987 is definitely my favorite year.
On another subject, I need a brake booster for one of my '87s. I'd like new, not rebuilt. Can you help?

Hi Willie!
Yep, I tried to get out to the front counter, but you had already
left....I get pretty busy in the phone room, and it usually takes
me a few minutes to clear all my lines.
Factory Motor Parts has Delco 'power heads' is what GM calls
a booster, and I'm 95% sure that they are new. My builder
only offers rebuilt, but he can do cool things like powder coat,
chrome or cadium plate.
Don't hesitate to let me know if I can help any of my fellow
'Zonies!

Hey Marc, welcome to the club and the boards. There are a bunch of us around these parts, just a little difficult to get us all together. I also live on the east side and I'm in your area all the time. Keep an eye out, you'll usually see me prowl'n the streets.
