Usually when I check auto zone for parts they either can't get them or their
prices are totally out to lunch on british parts. So that is a surprise on
the distributor; but if you don't shop around you'll probably end up as
shark bait. I just recently finished installing a brake master cylinder
that I picked up for $160. AZ was way over $250 on that one.
So go figure.
