I presume they is no issue with asking this question on here. I am interested in who you like to use for restoration parts, based on quality, originality, price. I know for pontiacs some suppliers are better with some parts vs. others.

Parts I need for my W30 car are:

Floor matts, factory or carpet (not sure which way I'm going yet)
Fuel line pump to carb
Battery tray
Drip rail window weatherstrip (What is the best Manufacturer, closest to original mat,l?)
Trunk Matt
Reverse light covers
Steering column, Key lock, signal / tilt arm replacements
Carb rebuild kit
Windshield washer pump

I have looked at original parts group, tamraz, brothers. Please advise on your preference.

Thanks, David

There's lots of vendors for parts some people have had good luck w some others aren't so happy. Here's some besides the couple you've mentioned I would search on each name and draw your own conclusions

Fusicks
Partsplace
Inline tube aka ilt

My opinion is most people like fusicks and they mostly stand behind their parts. Some stuff they get from parts place. Parts place generally has the lowest prices but some people have opined their customer service is lacking. iLT has lots of stuff but check your order for accuracy and the parts for fitment. Tamraz seems to have reasonable prices but I've never bought from them. oPGI frequently has discounts that if applicable make their prices more palatable, they also have decent customer service.

As always the best fitting parts are original GM but for some things that can be hard to find and priced accordingly.

Fusick is always first for me.


Supercars Unlimited is very good.


Inline Tube is hit or miss.


OPG is too expensive.


Year One has high shipping costs.


Parts Place has a questionable return policy.


Brothers never gets my business.


All based on 25 years of buying parts.

I've had pretty good luck with Tamraz, so far. Prices are good.
