[bb1979]

I got one too. Pulled out the 4 speed trans from the C30 and needed a new pilot bushing at 11:00am on a Saturday, raced to the parts store to get one before they closed at 12.

me - I need a pilot bushing to suit a 350 chev
clerk - make and model
me - 79 chev c30
clerk - sorry our computer only shows those with 292 6's
me - ok got any its the same
clerk - sorry could be a two week wait
me - ok how about a 327 in a 1969 holden
clerk - yeah we have those in stock
me - ok i'll take that then
clerk - but it won't fit
me - all chev engines from 1955 take the same part regardless of what they are in
clerk - but it won't fit

By this point I was getting a little p*****d
me - look mate I have been messing with these engines for 10 years now just please give me the part
clerk - ok but you will be back when it doesn't fit
me - no I won't

Paid for it left store installed it and its still there 3 years later

I guess its the same problem around the world lol
