Yes, something I know we all can relate too!

There's an ad on the radio here, I think for Advance Auto parts where they
supposedly carry "everything" where a guy asks for a distributor cap for a
'74 Gremlin.  Sooooo??  Well, I know for *certain* that they have that
part, since I'd bet a paycheck it is the same cap as the one I purchased
not long ago for the distributor on my '72 Scout with the AMC 258 six.
Just not a funny ad. . . .  Nope, not funny.  . . . Nope.
