You know, I've been on this forum for a while and the only company I know of that post's tech tips here is Willcox. You guys are great, you've helped me out at one point and I see you helping out other guys all the time. Cheers to you guys for the hard work....and the love of the hobby.

I'm fortunate that Wilcox is within driving distance from me. I haven't done a lot of business with them, but have been to their store a couple times. Not a fancy showroom by any means, but Wilcox is a first class operation.

AND, unlike some of the other vendors on this forum it is WITHOUT a sales pitch.

Wilcox just helps, and yes, that is why they will always have my business.

try and ask a radiator question and you will be hit with a infomercial.

Hi,
I think the folks at WILLCOX realize that the people who buy their parts are actually working on their cars and will have problems and questions. So they're willing to give instructions, advice, and explain things beyond "disconnect the battery and put the part on".
The best thing (for us!) is that Ernie will explain things EVEN if he doesn't have a part to sell.
WELL DONE ERNIE!!!
Regards,
Alan
