Man, card system! your showing your age! Most people won't know what your talking about, but i do. I've owned a couple of parts stores and a franchise of Don Garlits so I know what a card system is. The people that are hired now days are required to have computer skills not automotive knowledge. After all who is going to work at Autozone with knowledge for what they pay. At least for any length of time. You want to get a deer in the headlight look, ask someone for points and condenser for your 67 273 Dart! Then ask them for the Dwell setting.
