Unqualified parts people.....

During the 2010 Mopar Nats. my buddy and I were cruising Heath in my Duster that had just been completed a few days prior. When taking off at the stop light I gave the car too much clutch and not enough gas. The car started to die so I gave it more gas and shoved the clutch in and heard a small pop. Drove down to the next light and the car died. Pulled over to see what was wrong and found out the pop was my power valve in my carb.We kicked the idle up to about 1500 rpm and headed back to Brice Rd. where we were staying. I noticed the O'reilly parts on Brice was still open this late so we went in hoping they would have one. Went to the counter and asked for a power valve for a 3310 holley carb. The counter boy goes to his computer and says "what make, model and year is the car. I said that you'll never find it like that because they never came with holley carbs. He said he couldn't help me then since that is the only way that he can locate parts. Then my buddy asked where are your hi-performance parts and he said they didn't have any. Just then a customer that overheard us pointed over to the wall beside the counter and said "what they have is over there". Found one that must have been sold before that didn't have a gasket but it was the only one they had so I bought it and used my old gasket which is usually a no no since they tear upon removal. Got me thru the rest of the evening and went to Jegs next morning and got the correct one and a couple of extra gaskets. If you are ever on Indy's west side and need something from Oreily's stop at the one at 38th & High School Rd. and ask for Jennifer, she knows her stuff!
