Howdy Keith -
Yeah - It's a little like turning over a rock.It's amazing what crawls out.
Bratton, Snyder, Mac's, and Mike's all have good links from
Model A Trader magazine.Their catalogs are all free, and Bratton's catalog is by far the best illustrated with the current one just packed with good info.
Snyder's appears to have the best prices (marginally) on the parts.You might consider building with a "High speed" gearset if you'd like a bit more top end.
I shopped around and found that the bearing prices from the "A" parts suppliers are better than you can get from local sources.Of course I'd recommend getting the more expensive bearings in every case where a choice is given.Make sure you get several sets of "Banjo" gaskets for adjustments (and accidental ripping).Snyder has 0.010", and 0.006". A couple of each should suffice.
