Welcome to Ames Performance 
                  Engineering 
                         
                  We want to thank you for visiting our site 
                  Ames Performance Engineering sells only Pontiac parts and is 
                  in its fortieth year of supplying enthusiasts worldwide. 
                  During this time we have established a reputation among our 
                  customers for prompt service and the finest quality available. 
                  This attention to quality is especially evident in our reproduction 
                  items, many more of which are now being made in our own shop. 
                  As in the past we will critique our products in order to inform 
                  our customers of the quality of each reproduction. 
                  Both phone and mailorders will be processed and shipped within 
                  24 hours, except during shows or in backorder situations.  Our large in-house inventory allowed us to ship 98% of 
                  all orders within that deadline. 
                  Therefore, if an order is called in to us by 10 a.m. Monday, 
                  it should be in your hands by Tuesday if you live in eastern 
                  New York and New England (except Northern Maine). You'll have 
                  it Wednesday in New Jersey, Eastern New York and parts of Delaware 
                  and Maryland. On Thursday your order should be delivered to 
                  most of North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Western 
                  New York. All other continental sections of the country should 
                  receive their orders by Friday or the following Monday. (The 
                  above service is dependent on typical UPS shipping schedules.) 
                  All parts are sold with a satisfaction guaranteed policy. Please 
                  examine your order immediately. All shortages, incorrect items, 
                  and damages should be reported as soon as possible. To return 
                  an item to us, please contact us for instructions. If Ames is 
                  responsible for the incorrect shipment we will reimburse the 
                  customer for his return shipping charges. Under no circumstances 
                  will Ames pay for additional charges incurred by using packaging 
                  services, air shipping or accept COD shipments. For your protection, 
                  send the package by UPS or insured Parcel Post, saving the receipt 
                  until you hear from us. If the package was damaged in shipment, 
                  save the merchandise and packaging. Notify the carrier immediately 
                  for instructions. 
                  We will maintain the prices on this site as long as possible. 
                  However, we reserve the right to make price changes whenever 
                  necessary. Prices charged shall be those prevailing at time 
                  of shipment. Items may be discontinued at any time. 
                  Parts may be ordered by calling our toll free ORDER LINE 800-421-AMES 
                    (2637). Please tell us which catalog you are using, your customer 
                  number from your catalog mailing label, the part numbers, and 
                  a brief description of the items desired. Parts may also be 
                  ordered by mailing or faxing the order blank located toward 
                  the rear of this catalog. 
                        Methods of payment: We accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and 
                  moneyorders.  (Personal and company checks are also accepted.  
                  However, we reserve the right to hold large personal checks 
                  for proper clearance.)  We also offer COD shipping.  COD charges are $9.00 additional per box. Note: 
                  We cannot ship COD orders by air. When using credit cards be 
                  sure to give complete card number, expiration date, and card

                *PRICES:Always fair 
                          *CATALOGS:Always free 
                          *QUALITY:Twenty-nine years of the finest! Disregard those "Us 
                  vs them" ads since we have always tested and chosen the 
                  best products. 
                            *BACK ORDERS:Lowest rate in the industry. 
                            *INVENTORY:Nation's largest - we couldn't supply a 98.6% order 
                  fill rate without it. 
                  *SHIPPING:Over the years, Ames Performance has tried to keep shipping rates as fair as possible. With severe rate increases by all common carriers throughout the country, we have been forced to raise these charges. In the past we would raise the base shipping to $10 for orders less than $50 but in fairness , we cannot continue with this and make it cost prohibitive to place a small order. Therefore, we have developed a fair graduated scale.  Additional oversize shipping charges may be added as noted in the catalog.
