Re: "Basics of Basics" Parts store tricks to get the parts you need.

Good stuff. I have an old guy at the local store I use. When they converted to all computer access a few years back, they were told to toss the "color books" as not essential anymore. He hid his on a back shelf and we have used them more than once. I suspect the stores lose a lot of sales to online purchases just because folks find it online and do not bother going back to the original store to cross check the part number.
