Re: Mystery valve help needed
At my local NAPA dealer the kid that closes up late built his own 'low
rider' (and I mean LOW!) Knows what he knows, knows what he dosen't
know. And when they don't have the part in stock they will check the
warehouse and give me the part number. 6 mile drive and I'm at the
regional distribution warehouse open until 11:00 PM. They get ALL my
business. Well, not all. They don't stock mud flaps.

Re: Mystery valve help needed
That's because you're talking to the wrong guy. You want the one wearing
a different-colored shirt. He will likely be the only one there without
pimples. He will not only know what the part is and why it broke, he will
know how to find it without using the computer. He will also know where
you can get the part if he doesn't have it.
