There used to be a lookup page on the AC Delco website but now it just shows GM dealers. Any way to find indy ACD dealers?
How to find independent AC Delco parts stores?

I get my GM parts from Rock Auto…
I don't know if any independent parts stores let alone a specific brand one can survive these days.
$20 at my GM dealer but out of stock, NA at Walmart, $8 at the only AC Delco store I know of but can't get until Monday.
Well, guess you'll need to go off-brand, then.
Or wait until Monday.
There used to be one on Washington Blvd in SW Baltimore City.
Me too - lowest prices that are even less than I get at a dealer with my GM employee discount! Stand alone AC DELCO stores are dying off basically because most the parts they sell are the same crap you get elsewhere but with their logo. Only the OE line is of any quality.
I remember that store when I lived in MD - part of the city I would not set foot in alone so it's probably gone now.

FYI, sometimes Rock does not list all parts available…
I just picked up 4 diesel fuel injectors for a farm tractor from Rock.
Last year I got a box of assorted Bussmann ATC fuses, the ATM assorted were listed, but not the ATC. Plugged the part number into search, presto…

A whole chain of them near DC in MD and VA: “Delcoline”
Yes that is the one I use, but when they don't have something in stock, I want an alternative.
A lot of those independents and ACDelco distributors went under when GM enforced the RIM system on their dealers. Basically they could order ACDelco items from distributors for the same cost as GM but have it same day. However with the RIM program, which Ford has also, dealers get penalized financially for not buying directly from the manufacturer and keeping a bunch of arbitrary part numbers that have no sales history in stock.
