View Full Version : Need some help sourcing a GM part...

So long story short - we are scrambling to finish up the '67 and have run into a snag with - of all things - a silly little starter pigtail. It seems that at some point in the last couple of years GM stopped using the convenient stud and nut and went to a fixed pigtail for the starter trigger.

My issue is that there is not a single one in the entire country (Canada that is) and it will be a week to ten days to get one. But... we are shooting to have the car on a trailer and heading for warmer climates two weeks from today - which doesnt leave much room for error.

Is there anyone who works for or has a great in at a GM parts department that could see if they can source one and express it to me?

The part number is 88988118.

Please PM me or Email ([email protected])me if you can help.

Thanks, I appreciate it.
James
