Right now I'm looking for a master cylinder or master cylinder repair kit for a '61 Buick Special and I have no idea where to find one, and before you give me a link to lmgtfy, I already looked it up, and was two steps away from having it in my car, but the manufacturer has it on back order with no information on when they might have a kit available so the parts store I ordered it from basically said that they couldn't get me one any time soon. So basically, I am wondering where those who are more my senior to the business of restoring older cars get their parts, particularly ones that are harder to track down.

Rock Auto Parts have the best price and have a lot of parts but not all. I am restoring a 62 Skylark and they have helped alot. Fatsco has all the Dual Path Auto parts and they have outstanding service. Ask for Mike,
