F-Body Europe

I've been stationed overseas since 1988 (Japan, Korea, and Germany), therefore I'm pretty much atuned to the whole mail order thing. But I guess I've managed a string of good luck, since I've never, ever received the wrong part in the mail...until this week.
As everyone pretty much probably knows, I'm diligently trying to get the 3.1 back together, in the car, and sold (with a Sept DEROS over my head at that). So the timing couldn't be worse to be cursed by the "Wrong Part Fairy". The two things I need most to just get the damn engine in the car have been the absolute worst things to order and receive. First was the pilot bushing for the crank. The box I received had bearings in it alright...160 needle bearings for a New Process transfer case, 10 packs of 16 each. That was Tuesday. Then today, finally, the backordered freeze plugs came in after two weeks. Oh, there were freeze plugs in the box...for a Chrysler 4 banger. So there the engine sits, quietly waitng for the most minute (and correct) parts to arrive so the job can be completed.
Now, I know everyone has their own horror so I'll just say this...I feel your pain...albeit, 16 years later .

I need a beer...

Sorry to hear the news, that bites! Sounds like it was overdue.

Hope you get the right parts quick.

Oh and PROST!

Call Bill Markivich, Jr. or Sr., at P&G Chevrolet. You can find their phone number at http://www.partszoneonline.com. They are great to do business with and will get your parts right out. If you ask them to, they will send them Express or Priority. They are great to do business with. I've used them several times and have always been well satisfied.

Make that 3 times this week... Different company, same result.
I keep getting Chrysler parts instead of GM. Must be my Plymouth Roadrunner obsession that causes parts to change numbers and description when I read them...
