Mail order and the off the street demand did most of them in. Not a lot of guys buying cams, headers, carbs, and ignitions for anything but 4 cylinder Hondas anymore. It's hard for them to stay alive. I am lucky to have a well established one locally that does very well and has a very good machine shop on site. They have been in business since 1973 and pull from a large area.
I feel very fortunate.
Edit: Kragen, Pep Boys and Shucks, all seem to devote a minimal amount of shelf space to some chrome & glitter in the way of a little bit of Holley coverage, and some Edelbrock stuff. If you need a wing for a Honda deck lid they can fix you up
