The Shop Manual
Answers to Some Frequently Asked Questions
If you are looking for anything Automotive naturally you will want to
start your search in the
eBay Motors.
Of course, everything you need will not necessarily be there so below are some other sites.
For general web searches I have found Ask Jeeves and Dogpile work very well. Type in a word or phrase and they will look in a number of different web searches. I would suggest looking for clubs that specialize in your vehicle first.
Hemmings Motor News

is also an excellent place to get an idea of how much something MAY
be worth.
The Kelly Bluebook is another place to find an approximate value of a auto.

things: brought to the shop board by cudastang.
