Early on, I sent my wife to the store for a axle U-joint for a '66
Corvair Corsa w/turbo (if it sounds like overkill on the nomenclature,
that's how it was in the car's maintenance manual). I told her to tell
them everything in the nomenclature I'd provided. She had me write it
down. She came back with a driveshaft U-joint for a 66 Corvette!
When I went down there the guy claimed she'd asked for the Corvette
part. When I showed him the note I'd sent, he claimed he'd never seen
it. All this even though she'd written his name on the note as having
had him read it!
I have a library of those incidents!
So don't be surprised that parts guys sometimes mess up and never admit
it!!
