Our site has a 302 Found redirect from / to the actual location of our
homepage. We've been up a while and are climbing in the search
results, but we still don't have a pagerank.
Site: http://www.PBFixIt.com/
Content: http://www.pbfixit.com/cart/catalog/index.html
Questions:
1) We don't have a pagerank at our content page because no one links to
it-- they just link to the main site. Does this mean that
http://www.PBFixIt.com/ does not have a pagerank? If not, can is there
a way to determine that?
2) Is the 302 redirect hurting us? Google and others continually crawl
our whole site. All external links are consistently to
http://www.PBFixIt.com/
3) Any site-specific search engine optimization recommendations?
I would appreciate a technically detailed response. I will request
clarification before rating answer.

Search terms that we're optimizing for are:
PowerBook Parts (Most important)
PowerBook G3 Parts
PowerBook G4 Parts
Plus other variations with specific model and/or part names. Examples:
Pismo Logic Board
PowerBook G3 Wallstreet Broken LCD
Titanium Case Replacement

Considering this page has a PageRank of 5:
http://www.pbfixit.com/cart/customer/help.php

...I would assume that www.pbfixit.com would have a PR5 or better

To rank well for your main keyword, two things might be enough to get
into the top 10:

1) Get a listing in Open Directory
2) Change the page title of www.pbfixit.com/cart/catalog/index.html to
"PowerBook Parts". Page titles carry a lot of weight, and from an SEO
point of view are wasted on the name of your business
