Napa is where you will usually find someone without their heads up their ***. You go into the local schucks here and you'll spend half the day trying to explain to the guy that the ******* parts computer may say that is the right part, but a lifter will not work as a spark plug.
******* Pep Boys is no better, guy was trying to tell me that a AMC 360 was the same engine as a Chrylser 360, that AMC didnt make thier own engines, I was speechless, then proceeded to put him in place and really make him look stupid with about 4 people waiting for thier parts as well, IM guessing they werent too confident about the parts they were given, lol. Another time I asked for a 2 1/2 inch collector gasket, guy asked me what kind of car, engine, ac or not, ps or not, after looking thru his computer for a good 5 minutes, he says he doesnt show it for the truck, im like " A 2 and 1/2 inch collector gasket, you dont know what that is???? He was dumbfounded.. Moral of the story- know your part number before you go to these big stores, if you dont- go to the small guy who at least has knowledge.

If you buy brake pads for an 2nd gen NA they will ALWAYS give you pads for single piston front calipers; but alot of NA's have 4 piston front calipers.
