Default It's people like this that make this hobby great!

Some of you may remember the story on the 1977 Z/28 I recently re-purchased. The car was special ordered new by my dad and sold in '81. With the help of a member here I located the car and brought it home in December

I have put some postings out on a few car sites with some of the parts I am looking for. Eric (VintageMusclecar) sent me an email saying he would see what he could find. A short time later I get the email he has a correct carb for the car. Well today the box arrived in the mail and even though I haven't seen it yet (I'm at work until tomorrow) my wife informed me that there is a beautifully restored Quadrajet in the box. I can't say how much I appreciate the help that the members on this site have given me already.

In case anyone doesn't know about Eric and Vintage Musclecar Parts here's a link. This will be the only place I will use from now on.

Lewis...I see that you've discovered the "magic" of Eric's hard work! I, too am a satisfied customer of Erics!

I'm more impressed with him as a person. I haven't had a chance to drool over it yet since I am at work.

Eric helped me out as well with the correct carb for my '69 Z 28 last year. He was a pleasure to do business with and I recived a real work of art.

Lewis;

Glad to be of help. (Assuming you read the note that was with the carb?)

I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Eric
