Hey Roger,trust me on the name basis with parts stores.They all know me,been there many a time on a daily basis(sometimes twice)Good luck getting her going.Make a list of things and start ticking them off.It works for me,getting older.LOL
Gotta agree with you guys. Get on a first name, friendly basis with your parts guys. Helps me a lot in finding those BS parts like 3 out of 8 control arms for Audi's and getting me those parts quick, even if they don't have 'em in stock.
