A few weeks ago I went to Advance Auto to get a headlight for my 1971 International pickup. When I told the guy at the counter what I wanted, he needed to look the part up on the computer but he hesitated and looked completely confused. Then he asked me, "Who makes Internationals anyway?" I told him that International does. His computer didn"t show any headlights for a 1971, not even anything that could be ordered. Just then another nearby employee who overheard the conversation disappeared and came back with a headlight that I bought and installed on the truck, and it was the right one.

The best auto parts countermen that I"ve dealt with had been mecahnics for many years. They had no use for computers and were annoyed when having to use them. Andy at Lawrenceville Auto Parts was the best in the business.
It"s reality that people who get jobs at parts stores today will need to learn the company"s computer software, but they"re easy to learn. It just takes some time to get comfortable and proficient at doing returns and other oddball transactions.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
