[Healeys] Water pumps

[Leonard Hartnett]

"...years ago..." that person behind the counter could probably look at an 
item and tell you what it was and maybe even the part number and most 
applications it applied to.  Today, you hand that product to the person 
behind the counter and he might ask, "What is this?".  If you can't tell him 
the year, make, model, and part name, he won't be able to access the 
computer and therefore won't be able to help you.

I found this out when I tried to buy some spark plugs (not for the Healey). 
I told him the brand and the plug number (from the owner's manual and shop 
manual) that I wanted and he insisted on looking it up in the computer.  He 
went to the shelves and brought back the wrong plugs.  He tried to convince 
me that I was wrong and the computer correct.  Wrong response!  I insisted 
he go back and get the plugs I asked for.
