    Hi guys,
    I've done tons of reading and have been keeping my eyes and ears peeled for a 1989 and earlier (Mechanical Speedo) T5 from an S10. The past couple of months, I have been scouring the yards here in San Diego, looking for something in good shape within the years that I need.

    It figures that when I was on the fence about putting one behind my Flathead, I saw them here and there, but now that I am ready to pick one up, I can't seem to find what I am looking for. I would rather find something that is in good shape to begin with, rather something that I need to rebuild. Anyone know a good source, besides the good ole Craigslist/Newspaper/Yard scavenge?

    The Big 3 Autoswap is here in San Diego at the end of the month, gonna try there, but figured I'd ask anyway. Figure it can never hurt to ask. :)

    Thanks!

    I assume you already know about car-part.com.

    Yeah, tried there on a couple different occasions. I don't know how often they update inventory. Just looked and saw a few within a couple hundred miles or so. Will give it another go and call in the am. Thank you!

    Got my WC T5 on Graigslist locally for $300, didn't need it for my build just yet but figured by the time I did, by Murphys law, there would be none around :cool:
