Hey gang,

If you need a gas tank and sending unit (or other parts),
the OIC site that lists all of the parts vendors is the
place to be doing your parts sourcing and shopping:

http://www.imperialclub.com/TipsAndResources/index.htm

Lowell Howe has stacks of tanks cleaned, relined, and
prepped, ready to go.  I saw them myself.  He's listed on
the website, as are other reputable vendors that have most
parts in stacks or in vehicles just waiting for you to
call.  Many vendors do not read posts to The List.  Pricing
and parts' condition are the questions left to ask if you
call around.  There are also sources for redoing the parts
that can be redone.

When you post a message to the list, consider that the vast
majority of the 500+ people on the list reading it do not
sell parts, but are in the same boat of needing them. 

All of the vendors that I know give satisfaction
assurances, where other list members may not.  You have
recourse within the club via the vendor feedback area if
things go sour and just can't be worked out.  

There is a used parts area of the classifieds where
individual people can advertise their parts needed or for
sale. 

If it's a weird or hard to find part, or you just don't
know, perhaps the question to ask is:  Where do I find this
part, or parts for my 19XX car, instead of making a general
broadcast that is non-specific.  There is probably someone
else who will benefit from the answer and use the info
later, thus reducing future messages on the same subject.

Thanks in advance for considering these options before you
send an all-points bulletin out to The List.
