I worked at an Autozone part time when I started out in Law Enforcement. We’d get the guys being jerks saying it’s for a sbc. What these arrogant turds don’t realize is we didn’t memorize part numbers, stock is put on shelves with sku numbers. There is no sbc section. The computer requires specific info to tell us what shelf and what slot your part is in. So when you decide to be an arrogant pos you’re just causing unnecessary problems. So if you know they have to look it up just tell them what it’s for. You don’t have to be some hot rod holier than thou jack ass. These guys are making 8-10 dollars an hour and truth be told the older style parts are not their bread and butter money maker so they rarely handle them. I have a ‘75 400 in my ‘66 Catalina. So if I need engine parts I tell them a ‘75 Firebird because that’s what my block is out of. I need trans parts I tell them a ‘72 Grand Prix because that’s what my trans is from. I don’t try to be a jerk. If he had just grabbed what he thought fit a sbc and it was wrong through no fault of his own you’d be on here complaining about how dumb he is.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
