He bought an Edelbrock intake manifold for his mid '70s Pontiac 400. I got the call.
"Hey, I bought an intake for a Pontiac 400 yesterday and it's defective. I'd like to return it and exchange for a good one."
"What seems to be the problem?" I asked.
"Well, I got it all bolted up and all, but the water outlet is in the back instead of the front. They must have cast it wrong."
I held my hand over the phone's mouthpiece so he wouldn't hear my laughter.
"Hhhhhhmmmmm," I answered, "maybe try turning it 180 degrees and bolt it on again."
There was a moment of silence which was suddenly broken with "aw, shit! I must be a dumb ass!"
"Thanks for calling," I said, "and have a wonderful rest of the day!"
I have worked in the high performance parts industry since 1968. During that time I have made numerous contacts with wholesalers and manufacturers who, from time to time, have large quantities of good quality merchandise available at way below the normal pricing. I am pleased to be able to offer you some of those items. While viewing my blog I hope that you are amused with some of the things that have happened over the years. Please leave a comment.
