One problem with the site is it requires more knowledge of the cars than it should. For example I'm putting a list together of things I need for a engine rebuild for the 65 Bonneville. I want a new water pump and divider plates. If I go to the full size catalog there are no entries. I have to do an item search for "water pump" to find you do of course have the parts in stock.

This issue is by no means limited to PY. For example go to auto zone and ask for a pilot bearing for a 65 Catalina 421 4 speed. They will tell you they don't have them. Then ask for the same part for a 68 GTO 400 4 speed, and they go get the bearing off the shelve.

Absolutely good point! These systems are only as good as the data we enter. This particular issue was easy to fix. I added both items to the online FS catalog now. You'll see them if you try again. In fact, I found about 10 part numbers that somehow were omitted from the FS catalog. Now they are there.
