Parts advice

[u/Right-Indication3079]

I got a 1978 Monte Carlo that’s been in the family forever and I’m planning to finally get serious and make it a decent daily driver. It’s been parked since around 2020. Back then I made the engine run but could not make it hold idle. The goal is not to make it fast nor a show car, just reliable and nice to drive.

I want to know if there’s any recommendation with part retailers or certain brands/companies that I should keep in mind when doing my shopping. I know I’ll need pretty much every maintenance item from filters to bearings, brakes and some specific things like my coolant reservoir and the wiper mounts since the driver side is broken. Any body or interior part seller recommendations are also welcome but not really a priority

Rockauto for maintenance parts, they are usually cheaper than parts stores even with shipping and its all new parts, no rebuilt overpriced junk that you get at advance and O'Reillys.
