Yea, that was one of the four places around me I tried. Looks like I have to wait for it to arrive. Maybe I won't be at the show with you...

Since I was a moron and ordered the wrong part, I got some other stuff done yesterday. I installed the check valve that came in. Finished installing the boost gauge inside the car, just have to hookup the vac line in the engine bay, waiting on putting the IM back in. Ran a couple of the wires for the turbo timer, still trying to decifer the ignition switch harness. Installed the SRI. Put in the new fans and wired them up. Hooked up the o2 sensor on the exhaust mani and rehooked up my a/f gauge to it. Bought the materials for my oil return line. For some reason the 5/8" cap fit perfectly on the bung on the oil pan, but the 5/8" compression fitting wouldn't thread on. Now I must take another trip to the depot to switch this s*** for 3/4" I guess. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Thanks guys, I can't wait to drive her when she's done! So I got confirmation from Tony that the bung on my oil pan is 8AN. I need to get to a speed shop now to find a 45 that will thread onto the bung with a barb on the other side, then slide that into my existing oil return line. Problem is the damn speed shops don't open till 10, I have to be signed on my phone at work for 11, I don't get out till 7:30 and by then they're closed. I hate my ******* work schedule...
