swap meets are also a good place to get it. Just know hwat you're buying. There's a difference between the years for the horizontal pieces. If you don't want to take a chance, go to www.corvette-paragon.com and pick out what you want....
Good luck...

Oh but how expensive.. I just replaced the dist cover man 150.00 just for it.. I'm glad that most of mine was there when I bought my car... If anyone needs a used dist cover I got one in a box now.. Almost all of the parts houses have everything you want/need...
Does anyone know if these kits come with all the brackets that he will need?

IMO, finding these pieces in a swap meet is the less expensive way to go. You have to get your hands dirty but sometimes you can find some real gems out there. Several years ago, I got a cover, verts and horiz all for $75. I had to do a lot of clean up on them but they were all original and they cleaned up just great.

I just remember that I seemed to miss a few things when I was getting mine all straight. The four wire clips for the oil pan come to mind.. Also don't forget the rubber insulators.. I really liked the fact that they have the wire number molded into them to make you remember to seperate ugh.. is it 1 and 4 on the drivers side and ahhh 2 and 6 on the left side.. Any way it looks great once you get it done.. And really it isn't as bad as some make it seem to change plugs.. Just get you a good set of gloves because the heat shields are sharp.... Oh also the lower "V" are a nice touch...It looks like 500.00 will get everything you need from a quick look..The kit ZIP lists for 379.00 plus heat shields 27.95 plus lower "V" 49.50 X2..... Dave..

Are you talking about the lower V's if so not bad you just have to remove one of the motor mount bolt b/c the V is connected here at the front and at the rear to a bung in the block. To install any of these pieces is not bad just time consuming.. Dave..
