Yeah I always like when you go in for say a Mini Satrter and give them the Lester #17466, and they need a car to look up in their computer. They cant pull a part with just the part number.
The internet and the phone was my friend. If I couldn't cross reference the number, I'd look it up on google and second source it. Through my "normal" vendors I could usually get it dropped shipped within a couple of days. Through my second source vendors I usually got a corporate discount and still sell cheaper than the vendor.
