"obtaining good parts"....

I try to spend my $'s local. Always went to Napa in town. They knew how to read books when the computer gave them junk. That store closed. Napa next town over was decent enough, until that franchisee sold.

Last 2 years I've been going to local chain stores in town. Mine has been a long term project until a few weeks back. Drums purchased don't fit. Plug wires are crap. 1 pre bent master cylinder line bent the wrong way. Starter that wasn't even close to fitting on a 70 GMC. I wont mention, trying to find a cap-n-rotor for w/a Skip white HEI dizzy(GRRRR!!!!).

I keep plugging along best I can...Don.
