Parts Store Inexperience

I am lovin' this thread. Here's mine. Went into the local NAPA looking for a bypass hose for my 69 340 Dart. The kid asked me what kind of car so I told him. He then brought out 5 different hoses none of which would fit. I then told him to look up a 1987 Dodge D series pickup with a V8. 2 minutes later the right hose magically appeared on the counter and I went on my merry way. Now, an old school parts guy would have said, 'early small block mopar? I got just what you need'. I'm thinking the computer systems are organized ***-backward.
