Re: Trip to the auto parts store just isn't the same

Mine usually go like this. Me "I need an alternator belt for a 1966 chevelle big block no ac or power steering" Counter person " What's a big block " . Me " it's a big ass motor" . So now I know I'm going to screw with them. " it's a 496 ci " After they look for like 5 minutes I tell them just pick the biggest motor on your screen .

Then I get the with ac and power steering right. I now carry a spare gates with me.

Last time I went to get a fuel pump for the same car . Guy looks it up comes out with a long skinny box. It's an electric in tank fuel pump. Tell him it wrong he says no it's not the computer says it's the right part. I walked out and went to speed shop about 30 miles away.
