Too bad it had a carburetor and not FI. It was a California car so, that meant it had all sorts of smog baggage for not being able to adjust things that could adversely affect emissions. I think it got TBI in 1986. I just got tired of dealing with the carb on that thing.

I typically go to McMaster or Grainger for this kind of stuff, but honestly Amazon is easier to search and I get free shipping, so...

I've found that 2 day Prime is not 2 day very often any more. But if you complain, they usually give you a free extra month of Prime. And it stacks up to a year. Ask me how I know.

Once or twice I've had it be late. But that's out of a shit load of orders.

Once I called and got a free month of prime. After that I decided it's not worth the time to call.

I've noticed delays lately too. Around Christmas time, I was getting packages the same day I ordered. Now it seems that it is routinely in the 3 - 5 day range.

Amazon has been great ... for the amount I order from them the problems have been very minimal and the few that they were they resolved better than 99% of other companies I have dealt with.

One time I had ordered a vizio surround sound speaker system below (or similar to that one) and it stopped connecting to the bluetooth subwoofer and surround speakers ... so in other words only the sound bar worked.

When I went to return it they ended up sending me a new one and told me to dispose of the old one on my own ... I couldn't believe it, the main sound bar worked so I ended up giving it away for someone to use.
