i hear what you are saying hotrod lincoln, but it didn't sound like a bunch of mismatched parts in his case. it sounded like the same or better quality kit. the markup at some shops around here (i'm not talking machine shops) is different too. they get the part from the exact same parts house as i do. charge double price and since they have a account they actually get it for 10 or 20% less. same box same part everything and it'd delivered to them. that doesn't sound like aggravation factor, it sounds more like screw factor to me. i am not saying you do that and it may be the standard, but i personally just wish they would add it to the labor. let's not deny there's some psychology to the pricing. hr
