Auto Part Store Questions

I tend to appreciate the guy that knows whats going on behind the parts counter and is onto the old cars and performance cars in general. I dont agree that all the parts are different and if you need a ford starter solenoid for a 72 galaxy you shouldn't have to know what color the wipers are. Its a ford starter solenoid for chrissake!!
Here's a couple of good ones, go in to you favorite auto parts store and ask for a 3/8 bolt, when the guy says "how long" (which he invariably will) just say "oh, in about 6 hours".... that really gets em goin.
Another one is you walk in and say " I need a water pump" and they will ask "what kind of car do you have?" with a straight face just say " it's blue" (I have been asked to leave.....when you get banned from O'reillys, you know your a real MOPAR gearhead!)
One thing that I have found out is that the computer is not always right. One time i went into the local A-Z and was trying to get a part for the trans in my 80 pickup (powerwagon) like a throwout bearing or something of that nature (cant exactly remember). Any way, I go and say to the guy " its an 80 dodge pickup." he gos through h is usual line of questioning and finally he gets to this question "is it a hydraulic or cable operated clutch?" I was kind of stunned...surely the computer would know that the 80 dodge 1/2 ton W150 would have a clutch with mechanical linkage? So I just look at the guy for a second with a puzzled look on my face. He's got this look like,"whats wrong?"....so, I say to the guy "neither, it has neither of those type of clutches" Guess what, now he has the puzzled look on his face ,he says "what type of clutch does it have?" I say... "a mechanical one... you know with rods and a transfer cross-shaft and a clutch fork that pushes the throwout bearing..."
Here's the scary part, he has never heard of that before!! I say "well let me look at that computer screen" so he spins it around and sure enough it has no mention or listing of a mechanical style clutch for that year of Dodge truck in a half ton........We figured it out eventually!! lol
