once again the bix box parts stores hire only idiots! I asked if they had a basic air cleaner spacer... of course his first reaction was "what year is this for?" as he goes to his computer... I pointed to the stack og Holley carbs behind him and said, "it fits that"... CLUELESS!

looks like i'll be ordering from summit today, they have them for $3...QUOTE]


Funny,this month's classic trucks or custom classic trucks (one of them) addressed that very issue in the ed column. Isn't it funny how you can go into an old parts store and you can just give a half of a lame description of a part you need and they walk in the back and come out with exactly what you need? Yet when you go to a chain store you have to go back 3 times before you get the right thing and you can give them an exact part name and description and they look at you like you have 2 heads.
