Idiots...

Wanna hear an IDIOT phone conversation? I find I have a bad exhaust valve in my box of valves while assembling my 360 LA heads. I kinda want to get these on that night so I call the local Dodge dealership thinking they may still stock a '86 360 exhaust valve (yeah, right!) that I can pick up that day. So the parts counter guy answers the phone and I ask if they have an exhaust valve for an 86 D100 pickup...there is a little pause on the phone while he pulls up his computer image (or something) and then asks..." Is this an emissions part?" I chuckled and said "hell yeah, it is THEE emission part! you know, you got an intake valve and an exhaust valve???" He puts me on hold for about 2 minutes and calmly says,"that part has been discontinued..." Hee hee I should have known not to ask a dealer for a 25 year old part. RockAuto, 12.50+2.50 shipping, got it in 2 days. Only reason I went with Rockauto is that no one carried one around here, NAPA, Oreilly, Autozone...and they were 22.00 there online! Jeez!
