Re: [AMC-List] Brought home a Vigilante over the weekend... (Metro Detroit electrical rebuilder info)

That depends on where you are on I-75.

They were the first place I thought of, as I used to live in Rochester Hills.  Unfortuantely, I live in highland and work in Dearborn.

Mazza Auto in White Lake asked me to check and see if the number on my starter happened to be MDY8101A so he could check for parts.  Its already out of the vehicle, so I'll bring it there first.  If they can't do anything with it, I guess I'll leave work early one day and trek to Madison.
