This is it exactly. Specific year/make/model knowledge is way less important that problem solving, deductive reasoning, and being able to read between the lines in the catalog, whether is on the computer or paper.
I agree 100%. But how will the knowledge be passed along when all old guys do is *****, piss and moan because a young person doesn't know what a "Holley gasket" is. There ARE lots of different Holley gaskets, after all. If we want the knowledge to live, we should be patient enough to help educate the younger generations that there are more things besides injectors and turbos.
