Is that four wheel drive or two?
A fire.So what happens when he sells someone generic 3/8” J30R7 fuel/emission hose and someone clueless installs it on a fuel injection system that requires J30R9 high pressure hose?
Ok I will.Ferro needs to post his NAPA story here.
.Ok I will.
Years ago I was rebuilding my M37's brake system. I looked up all the Napa numbers and went to the local store, I hadn't trained them yet as I had just moved to the area.
I go up to the counter and say hi, I need a part, and I have the napa number.
Kid goes, make and model?
It isn't in there trust me.
Well let me try...
Sure knock yourself out. 1953 Dodge M37 3/4 ton weapons carrier with a 230 flathead inline six with waterproof ignition system, 24v.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh
With a smug look on my face- Told you
Finally admitting defeat- what's that number?
His fingers hover shaking slightly over the number pad.
I say, are you ready?
He says yes.
I go, "1"
He hits it. And waits. I stand quietly. Then he looks up, and the rest he says?
That's all I say.
He calls BS, I say hit enter. Skepticaly, he does.
Oh, it's a master cylinder rebuild kit for a 1936 Plymouth sedan. And it says we have 3 on the shelf!?!
Yep, I'll take all 3.
$27.95 each
Searching for "1" at NAPA parts online still brings up the master cylinder rebuild kit—Ok I will.

You are a 'regular' in more ways than one!@Adrok got to love it when you run into someone who doesn't even need to physically look up at all if you know what i really meant there?
even then umm well geeze yeah when you keep going back many to the same small food store (think just a few employees if not sometimes only one all day long) for quite a long time its not too much of a surprise to once in awhile suddenly get told the total price for my bag worth of items before i even managed to put one single thing onto the countertop in front of the cashier! and thats considering the blank back of a 1kg freezer bag of goat pasta looks exactly the same as the blank back of a 1kg freezer bag of veal-cheese pasta so yeah you can say they know too well what i usually eat .. and don't ask me about that one particular parma lady sometimes going "what? no chocolate??" when I buy something without getting at least one minicake of some sort too - hey don't laugh too much ok???!
.@Mullaney are you laughing too much that your feet are sticking upward instead because the chair has flipped backward? heh!
Exactly. It surprises me still when folks ask me that. I need to make up a better response—I want a dollar for every time someone asked me about my Unimog.
