RE: I can't believe this about sparkplugs!

["Henrik Hasager Johansen" <hjohansen@domain.elided>]

I had more or less the same problem at Grand Auto Supply in San
Francisco a year or so ago. Asking for a set of NGK BP6ES, the question
from the otherwise nice partsguy was "What year and make?" As I didn't
think it was any of his business I just repeated that I wanted NGK
plugs, and that they were right there on the shelf behind him!!! It took
forever to be allowed to buy a $3 sparkplug, and I was told that next
time I had to give them the computer reference code, so they could look
it up. How about looking a the shelf???

They did however have them on the shelf (didn't try Champions....)

Get this...so much for the major chain parts stores and the "service"
they
offer.

I went looking for some Champion N7Y (N7YC) spark plugs tonight. The
people
behind the counter are courteous, helpful and resourceful.
Take a guess...if you guessed ... they DON"T CARRY THEM!

What's wrong with this picture? Champion N7Y's used to grow on trees and
cost
a whole 89 cents last time I got some. Now I "have to special order
them"
...what a CROCK!

We have all these other great plugs is what I hear..My reply...I want
Champion
N7Y's and not all those OTHER plugs. Sheesh.

I am going to try NAPA tomorrow and if they don't have any...just where
does
someone get them?

I know there was a long discussion about NGK BP6ES plugs...where do you
get
those? I tried and get the same sing song "those are 'special order'
plugs"

What do you run in a carbureted car for the street..at this point I am
open to
suggestions.
