Had to replace mine about a year ago, and got it at NAPA... Now i've removed all smog and did the pump eliminator, see recent post.
Think the NAPA one was $60.... complete.

I like NAPA stuff but they are closed today. Called Advance, ORiely, and the Zone. All around $50. NONE in stock . I have a connection at the Chevy dealer and I'm thinking he can have it Monday for $40. I think I will get on the phone and wake him up.

No Checkers around here. My guy at the dealer said he will hook me up.
And thanks for the offer Steel, but I really prefer a fresh one. They seem to be good for about 60k miles.

Be careful removing the old one! I'm sure the bolts literally seized up in there. When you accidentally break off bolt or the bracket, you'd probably get pissed off and end up doing this:



ps: Don't drink too much beer when you're working on it!
