Lectric Limited Inc.
Just
ran across them. I have not ordered from them but what they provide is
unique and might be useful to others. The following is from their
website: "Specializing in Automotive Wiring Harnesses and
Wiring Products for the Restoration Industry. Manufacturing automotive
wiring products for 30 years." If you check out their
site, this is no exaggeration. If you have a need for wiring and
temperature sensors for your GM, Chrysler, AMC, or Jeep vehicle, this is the
place. No Fords. Check out their excellent FAQ. They know
wiring! Absolutely the best site I've run
across for these products.

I also had a few negative
experiences. I learned that PayPal Buyer Protection was absolutely worthless when you run into problems with
products. It's actually seller
protection. PayPal has no value what so ever if you use it outside
eBay. Just use your credit card unless you can afford to loose the cash.
I
received a few misrepresented parts. The worst ones are documented
below
