Parts Store Inexperience

Yeah i have had both good and bad.

I was doing a brake job on my Explorer, and was tired of using a Pipe wrench to compress the piston each time i did the brakes.

So i went to the "S" names parts store and asked for a Caliper piston compressor. They told me "all the engine rebuilding equipment is right here"
I told them i was doing a brake job on a Explorer. He looked at me funny, and asked why i needed a engine rebuilding hone for a brake job, just then a old timer came by after hearing our conversation, "This here is what your looking for" YAY.

Another time i went to get some tune up stuff for the Scamp. I went to the "N" named store.
Walked in and there was a girl behind the counter. Bracing myself for the worst, i ask for points, plugs, rotor, cap, wires and ballast resistor for a 71 plymouth scamp with a slant 6.

Her eye lit up and asked a what type of wires and different brands i wanted and after looking at the plugs, they had the 13/16, and mine were the smaller ones.

She even helped me discover that my slant had a different head on it from a Volare, after spending 15 min or so, looking up plug applications. Didnt realize it had a different head on it.

Turns out her family had mopars all her life and it was her nice looking 68 dart convertible out in the parking lot.
