I've had to hit up Napa, Fisher (Federated), Autozone, Advance, and Oreilly trying to get mine mobile over the past couple weeks just trying to find things in stock. Lady manager at Advance told me they didn't have power valves for Holley carbs, then I spotted them hanging on a peg behind the counter on my way out, SMDH! She's like "Oh, I didn't even realize that's what you were asking for." “Uh, does a man work here?”

There's a couple of old heads that work there that I deal with. I try to order on line and stay away from the little kids there. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | “Uh, does a man work here?” Sadly, they are even worse than she is. Yeah, I try to hit the old timers at any auto parts store I go to, but I've even run across a few of them that don't know jack. | 1 member likes this:

One of the old timers at a Napa I go to tried to tell me Chrysler never offered a 4 speed overdrive in the Volare/Aspen. I not only had the dated four speed in my car but it was the most popular swap to put into an A body! I try to avoid that shop and just get all the part numbers I need before I arrive to any shop. Or even pre order online.

The girl who’s doing it is a bit behind at the moment but the progress pic I got is really cool! The background will be black so the letters will pop. This will live inside the van and since there is no mural or lettering on my van, this is a unique way to have the name displayed.
