Reply to "Robert Shaw 333-180 Source?"

Thanks for the info George, I combed through a few threads where you guys have posted a lot of detail on this subject, now its just finding the 180's left. So to update on my escapade tonight. I went to an oreilly first and they had two of the 4364 in stock, but both were not the robert shaw with the brass encasing. Mr Gasket has obviously gone with another supplier since and not updated the picture with their auto parts distributors, so don't be fooled. So I figured there is the possibility that some stores have old stock. First I tried Napa who supposedly had one at their main warehouse, same one as before. I gave one last try at another performance oriented oreilly nearby and while they didn't have the 180, they did have a 330-160, so its getting closer. Luckily the store was dead so the guy helping me was calling multiple stores to have their clerks check their inventory specifically for a 333, but only one had the older Mr Gasket labeling on the carton. the new cartons say made in china, the 330 rs in the older cartons say printed in china. This other one says made in usa but has a CTO 210 part number. They are sending those to this store tomorrow. They might call the oreilly area warehouse tomorrow and have them check through their stock there. Since he is going to the trouble I figure I will see what they have before i order from somewhere else. I'll do business with that oreilly store in the future, that is going the extra mile.
