I would try Bennett Auto Parts, if it isn't in stock, they have it in couple hours. Plus they sell OEM parts.

Advance has them. You might have to go to a particular store to find it. The web site will tell you which one has it.
There are codes that you can put in to order online and do store pick up
A124 - $10 off $30, $25 off $70 and $40 off $110+
HUGE30 - $30 off $90+

Also, if you sign up at Ebates and you click on the Advanced from there, you'll get 6% back in the form of a check.
Many other stores to get rebates too

NAPA would be my choice too. In my area NAPA is cheaper on a lot of things than any of the other chains.

thanks guys...the reason I didn't wanna go with advance or autozone is that they are Chinese replacement parts...I have read a lot of problems with that online....
anyway, I ended up scoring one from south jersey auto supply, they brought it from pa to jersey in 2 and half hours!!! for only $117.... and its American!!!!

thanks again all!!!!
