Elgin Elects Electronic Catalogs

ELGIN, Ill.--All of the engine and chassis components available from Elgin Industries, as well as the company’s latest product interchange, pricing and technical bulletins and listings, are now available in an electronic format through Elgin’s catalog software. (Elgin supplies OEM-preferred engine and chassis technologies.)

The new Elgin electronic catalogs merge information found in the company’s traditional, paper-based catalogs with a vast range of added functions that save time, ensure more accurate part identification and ordering and enhance the sale of related components and systems, according to the company.

Available from Elgin for $49.95 (regular updates are provided at no charge), the Microsoft Windows-based catalogs cover all Elgin replacement engine parts, Elgin chassis parts (including king bolts); and Elgin PRO-STOCK performance engine components. The catalogs are offered in versions tailored to the unique business needs of warehouse distributors and jobbers/machine shops.

Catalog features include instant part-number search capabilities; pick lists covering manufacturer, engine/vehicle model and part number; and digital images of thousands of components. All parts are displayed with interchange number and selected price sheet. In addition, the engine catalog includes a full listing of stock and performance camshaft specifications, while the chassis catalog includes king bolt set specifications and related information.

Elgin replacement engine parts include precision-engineered camshafts, pushrods, oil pumps, rocker arms, timing kits, valves, valvetrain components and water pumps. The company also offers a broad range of performance engine parts under the Elgin PRO-STOCK brand.

Chassis parts available from Elgin include ball joints, tie rods, bushings and kits, center links, drag links and king bolt sets.

The Elgin electronic catalogs are designed for use on a Pentium-powered PC with a minimum of 8 megabytes of RAM, 30-megabyte hard drive and Windows 95 or newer.

The company operates a manufacturing and headquarters facility in Elgin, Ill., a West Coast regional distribution center in Los Angeles and seven local distribution facilities.
