Napa Gaskets Update....
« on: Feb 09, 2007, 02:49:44 PM »
For anyone that is interested, NAPA (or rather GPC, the parent company)  will no longer be selling Victor Reinz gaskets.  We are to go the way of KrankOn and push Fel-Pro.   :smack:

As you may or may not know, GPC decided several years ago to stop selling Spicer U-Joints/doing business with Spicer.  DANA Corp. has since divested itself of all automotive aftermarket companies.(it no longer owns United Brake Parts, etc.) 

Anyway, by mid to late 2007/early 2008 NAPA plans to be totally immersed with Fel-Pro.  In case anyone cares.  :willynilly:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "

"I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves."

RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.

if you bought em today, they are Victor.

THIS IS NOT AN OVERNIGHT CHANGE
