yeah, like doing brakes on my 71 Satellite--- I have to scratch my head for a second "Year, Make and Model" asks the guy at the counter-- Thinking for a second "It's a 76 Chrysler Cordoba". The guy looks outside at my bomb "That's not a 76-- nor is it a Chrysler."
Me- "Well, you see-- it's got 12" upgraded discs in the front that are the same off of a 76 Cordoba."
Him-- "Oh".
$40 a rotor vs. $175 for a 10.75" 71 rotor.
I then ask for a T-stat for a '76 Big Block D-100 truck--- 180 degree.
Him-- "Man, how many Dodge's do you have??? I thought I saw you with a Dakota RT in here before."
Me-- "It's for my Dakota."
Him-- "OH, you need a pn ..." blah blah blah.
Me-- "Well, you see-- it's got an M1-4bbl single plane manifold, that runs a OEM- Chrysler Big Block T-stat housing and T-stat-- If I were to put in the smaller 92-up Magnum T-stat, it would fall in the hole."
I avoid that guy at all costs...
