Exclamation Interchangeable parts?

Just wondering if we all put our heads and great body of knowledge together we could come up with a list of common service parts that DONT have to come from the US and can be picked up at your local Repco SooopCheeep etc.
Where we can pay $2.50 for some doodad instead of $12.50 from a "specialist" retailer.

Stuff like filters, dizzy cap? Coil? Rotor arm? Carb reco kit? plugs and hoses?
Uni's? Bushes?
There will always be some parts that have to be genuine but there are plenty of others that are interchangeable.

From memory an oil Filter for a 258/6 has the same specs as a way less expensive Holden compatible part. A Ryco Z30 will fit but has clerance issues with the frame rail in some situations, I think its a Z160a??

My last Carby kit was listed under a Ford part #, the same book had 3 other kits listed for my carby.

Can this be a sticky?
