I have been buying parts for my 78 stock rebuild. I stumbled across a way to save a few bucks. For my small parts I use Napa or Kragen autoparts. I have been shopping online for the internal parts of the engine. Today I needed a water pump for the 78 so I went online to http://www.partsamerica.com/default.aspx and priced a new GMB water pump. It was $26.99 and it said that one was in stock at my local Kragen parts store. I called them and they said it was $34.99 and I said it was cheaper online at partsamerica, he told me that since Kragen owned parts america they would match the price. So I went into the store and saved 8 bucks, that simple. I also did that with the main and rod brgs which were Clevite's, and saved $42.00 on them. If you have a Kragen in town check the parts america website and print the price and save money. I know it is not a real big amount but it is a saving.

yep i have done that myself but sometimes you will get a hardnose manager and they say that that price is for online only but most times they will just give it to you to keep a happy customer

IT may be cheaper online, because of the cost of shipping.
However I fave found parts online, that Reibes (a vesrion of Napa) said the store did not carry.

The website will tell you if it is in stock at your local store, if the manager does not want to drop the price you can pay online and pick up at the store. Also I have not paid shipping on anything from them, over 50 bucks and it is free.
