Found it over on Parts Geek. A few bucks more but was in stock. Rock Auto has it but it?s listed a shipping delay because they needed to get it from the manufacturer first, then ship.

I hesitated buying it because paranoia kicked in and thought what if the threads are not the same or the angle of the tubes are off. But for the price, I will see what it looks like. Worst case, I will just have to return it. I also picked up the drier/accumulator kit they had for a decent price.

So if this condenser works like the original, I have to wonder what the extra $400 goes to on the condensers offered by suppliers like Ecklers. Both are probably made in the same factory.
