In reference to that wonderful list that John Stweart posted:
It's my understanding that Sperry Valve Works has closed down. I heard that Mike sold his business to someone who wasn't able to keep it going. Too bad as Mike was one of the best head developers.

Hey, everyone. I just picked up my first Alfa last month, an '89 Graduate. Not perfect but in pretty good shape, considering where it came from. Luckily, no major rust, just a few little undercarriage spots. At any rate, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a source for the outside mirrors and door handles. I've tried Vick Auto & International Auto Parts, no mirrors and over $140 for the handles. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

They have lots of spider and 164 stuff. They have Bosch and many other brands and are probably the cheapest.

If you are considering doing business with Caribou Imports, check its Better Business Bureau report through this link: www.bbbsouthland.org/ . Type in "Caribou Imports" in the block labeled "BBB Company Reports."
Via personal experience, I strongly advise against doing business with Caribou. Check out the BBB link if you don't believe me.
