I think it is a matter of store management-- the poor managers are not much 
better than the in-experienced workers they hire. And they are the ones with 
excuses in stock rather than parts.....................MO.....sw   iowa

The NAPA store here stands for Never Any Parts Available.  They are the
damndest place I have ever seen, ask about a part and they tell you they
only have one in stock and will have to order one for you???  When asked to
sell me the one in stock they're reply is "Then we will be out of stock" and
give you a look like your an idiot.  Probably the reason they downsized and
moved to an out of the way location with no store front.  But your right
about counter monkeys, I was looking for new head lights for my Fury and was
told by A Zoned, ORipplys, NAPed & Disadvantaged Auto that they don't make
them anymore for that old of car, WTH!!  Kind of makes you want to get some
duct tape and wrap it around your head to keep it from blowing up.  You try
to explain headlight interchangeability to them and they just tell you it's
not in the computer we don't carry them.  Went to Walmart and bought all
four.  BTW I was told the same thing about a master cylinder for my Fury, to
old don't make or rebuild them anymore.

Bill,
Agree with your opinion on Napa. Most of the time our old cars require the
paper books out.... that loses a bunch of monkeys. When I was doing the
brakes on my Petty Stock Car project Napa was the only ones who had the
brake shoes. All the others were on indefinite back-order.
Next time I go to Napa...mind if I drop a few items "on your account"?
Thanks in advance..lol
