Love Competition Products, and Speedway... (Speedway does the cool circle track stuff, that blends into hard core drag cars/ street racers...
Share Yours...:)
 
Just discovered these guys.
dragracecarparts
Bought some pieces for a 340 rebuild. Their prices were better than Summit and Jegs.

Thanks... Let's search, for the good ones. Appreciate, your post.
 
I have a three year old Competition Products catalog... if I need something I drive there. I toss the Jegs and Summit catalogs.

Most of what Speedway sells is Chinese junk knock-offs... learned the hard way.

When I need hard parts I usually buy from my local engine or chassis shops... free freight and the same or better prices. Or I deal direct with the manufacturer...
 
Not really a "car part catalog" but the Eastwood catalog is in "the library" and it has a lot of cool stuff in it.
 
Hands down, PAW. Remember all of the badass engine combos they had? ...and where'd they get all them aluminum blocks?

Absolutely! It sucks they're gone. It was nice to be able to drive over there on a Saturday and buy whatever you needed....
 
Although I’ve never ordered anything, I LOVE Classic Industries’ Mopar catalog! I also like the S one on the forbidden list.

JC Whitney was my favorite sales catalog when I was a kid. Loved to flip through it and look at everything and pick out what I’d put on my car once I got one. Lol
 
i used to go through the jc whitney catalogs when i was a young teenager. i swear if all their claims were true, you would have a car with 5000 hp, and get 300 miles a gallon. lol every thing they sold added hp and better mileage.

PAW was a mess when they quit... so was Speed-o-Motive... so many horror stories of unbuilt engines, parts not delivered, etc.

I've been buying from Northern Auto Parts for years... mostly engine parts. Redoing the wife's Jeep right now with parts from Northern.

I use Rock Auto's online catalog for reference material. They are 100 miles from me but the shipping costs's are stupid... often more than the cost of the parts! 99% of what I buy I get at my local parts store... great service, good prices and friendly people.

Yes, they are completely gone now. Up until about a year ago, he was selling early Hemi parts only on EBay and then went out altogether. I was fortunate enough to get a fer things from him for my 331 at a good deal before he went out.
