yw! And glad you came back here too.
And it's good that you'll get it back in-order; that helps air quality... which is no joke in LA and a lot of other places; and it will help the Bronco run a ok and make it possible to diagnose future problems ezier.
As for the cat;

I get www search prices such as above & then try to get local places to match or beat those prices incl S&H and taxes.
But, nearly all da mom & pop parts stores are gone around here now so; the local chain stores don't bargain. or their sales help is clueless and too busy.
