Just looking for some parts and see RA is having a closeout on our V8 gen 2 (I guess) VCG set.
$25. Same thing at Advanced Auto Parts is $64. I know you can get a discount at AOP but still can't beat RO on this. Felpro VS50724R
I still went with Advanced for the gasket set and Motorcraft SP468 plugs because shipping from RO adds up. If you factor in a week to get parts and if they come from different locations and if you have to return that part, it has to go to the specific location which costs you multiple shipping. Plus I can get the parts today at Advanced. Cost me an extra $5 to go local and with less carbon footprint.
Basically, if you're not in a hurry, I'd order a VCG set to have. For $30 (ship/ tax incl) it's a good deal. Ford want $75 + tax for one side, not even a set.
