Hind sight is always 20/20. It amazes me how many people will do anything to save a few bucks (no offense to you since you saw the light!!). I can't believe anyone out there would rather drive to 7 different carquests, NAPA, shucks, etc just save $10 on spark plug wires or to get the 'cross referenced' fuel pump, coil, or whatever. the vendors make it so easy to get what you want.... i am willing to bet that a quarter of the DeLoreans out there that don't run well are directly due to using non-OEM parts and trying to 'save a few bucks'. OK, you saved some money, and now where are you? I hope Rich's post helps others see what a waste of time it is to spend half an hour comparing your old part to a shoebox full of questionable 'maybe fits' parts at the local auto supply store. bite the bullet and buy the right parts for your car. you will be glad you did in the end. I know i am.
