Where to buy Cadillac parts in the South Bay area (California)

Hello!
I will be spending some time in the Bay area (Mountain View / San Jose, etc.) in mid March. I would like to take the opportunity to buy some spare parts for my 1973 Eldorado (fuel pump, parts for the front suspension, water pump, etc.). But where to buy them?

On my trips to the US I usually wind up at some AC Delco place but often I get the wrong parts with me back to Sweden - seems they cannot use their own computer system or something. Last time I bought wheel bearings but they were completely wrong which we discovered when we were to mount them on the car :-(

So if anyone can recommend a reliable place to buy parts I would appreciate a recommendation :-)

I have heard of A & A Auto in Brentwood, a bit far from the Bay Area maybe but I will go in that direction during a weekend... But maybe they only sell old/used parts(?).

Thanks in advance!

I sell used parts up in Washington State but I don't have new parts.

As far as waterpumps and fuel pumps go, or any other stock parts I kind of like www.rockauto.com

Suspension parts are getting a bit harder to find.

I hope you have (or maybe had) a great trip.

A&A auto sales has 1,200 cadillacs resting in peace. It's well worth the visit just to tour their yard. Don't forget to bring your camera.

Another place i  would recommend is Coopers Vintage parts in Burbank California,it is a little off of the beaten path but a real treat to visit,Bob has a lot of neat stuff there you never know what you will find,not sure if this is close for you as i am not familiar with California.  thanks Harvey

A&A is by far the best cadillac parts salvage yard in the greater bay area, if not all of northern California and is only about 60 miles from Mountain View/Sunnyvale.  They are a little pricey, but have a great selection.  They are indeed well worth the trip- but I would advise you call them in advance to tell them what you need, and check pricing with them before you go out there.
