Do any auto parts stores carry AC/Delco parts?

I went to my local Napa this weekend to get a new AC/Delco cap and rotor kit for my car, and Napa doesn't have any. What auto parts stores, if any, carry AC/Delco parts? If none of them do, what do I do, will I have go to the parts department in my local Chevy dealship?

Ask around, and look in the phone book for the ac delco parts distribution warehouse. They usually sell direct to the public. That's where I got my atlternator from, and it was $95 bucks from them. The dealer wanted $160 for the same alternator, and was going to get it from them. Just ask your local dealer who they get their parts from, and get the phone number from them.

That's kinda wierd cuz I've got quite a lot of AC/Delco parts from the local NAPA over the years. And their price always beats what I'd pay at the dealership.

They must run things differently up here.

Strange!

I don't know how far the chain spreads, but ABC Auto sells them. They're also the only parts store I know of that hires ASE-certified techs to run their parts counters. It's nice talking to someone who actually has a clue.
