Young guys at the auto parts store

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.

Not just the younger guys.

"I need valve cover gaskets for a small block Chevy," says the guy in his 50's.

"What year," I ask.

"Don't matter. They're all the same."

Oh, really?

Once you pop two different sets of gaskets down in front of him and point out they are both for a SBC, suddenly he's giving you a year.
