I have an opportunity to purchase large volume of new parts for Fieros and need information on the parts suppliers listed below. I need to know if they make quality parts for the Fiero. Anyone who has information/opinions on the manufactures could help me by letting me know of any experience they have had with any parts from the suppliers in the list.

Wells

Standard Ignition

Auto Specialty

EIS Brake Products

Tomco

Standard had been around a long time, I think they are tied to Echlin somehow. I would say their electronic parts and sensors are of decent quality.

I have also heard of Wells Tomco, but can't comment of the quality.

I use the red Wells dist. cap and rotor on my 2.8 and have never had a problem with it.

Thanks for the replies.
If I am able to purchase these parts I'll offer them here on PFF first, thereafter eBay. I hope to have other manufactures' parts available, such as AC Delco, Raybestos, Borg Warner, Carter, Wagner and more.
Here's an idea of what I'd be selling these parts for. Shipping would be actual cost.

Wells-Throttle Position Sensor 4-151ci 2.5L TBI VIN R2 84-86 $19.40
Standard Ignition-TBI Injector (New) 4-151ci 2.5L TBI VIN R2 84-86 $41.12
Borg Warner-PCV Valve 4-151ci 2.5L TBI VIN R2 85-86 $2.00
Borg Warner-Oxygen Sensor-O.E. V6-173ci 2.8L MFI VIN 9 85-87 $6.64
Carter-Electric Fuel Pump (Internal) 4-151ci 2.5L TBI VIN R2 84 $18.18
Bendix-Clutch Master Cylinder V6-173ci 2.8L MFI VIN 9 85-86 $26.08
Bendix-Slave Cylinder V6-173ci 2.8L MFI VIN 9 86-88 $40.64
Monroe-Sensa-Trac Shock (Front) 4-151ci 2.5L TBI VIN R2 84-87 $7.14
Auto Specialty-Slave Cylinder V6-173ci 2.8L MFI VIN 9 86-88 $27.48
TRW-Tie Rod End (Rear) 4-151ci 2.5L TBI VIN R2 84-87 $12.82
Standard Ignition-Trunk Release Solenoid V6-173ci 2.8L MFI VIN 9 84-87 $25.20

I can not say when I'll take any orders at this time due to a couple of 'life's a ***** ' complications that I must resolve first. In addition I have to make arrangements for storing and shipping these parts. If things workout, I'll start by selling to long time members of PFF first on a 'Pay After You Get The Part' basis to help establish my credibility.

With your help, it's a 'I win-You win' if I can make this work.
