It's easier and quicker to adjust the valves while the engine's running.

I love his commentary on the ignorant people who badmouth our V6s.

HAHA! SO dang true! I remember when I first got my GMC and went to get TUNE UP parts for my 305 at Napa....and I remember the awkward silence when I asked the guys there. They were like...you mean 305 V8 right? And I'm like...NO, It's a V6. Gotta love it!

First Time I was in the NAPA parts house in Brigham, I told the guy I had a 1965 GMC With 305 and he said he knew what I needed and started pulling parts, so I let him do his things, when he piled all the parts on the counter I told him is a 1965 GMC V6 engine, he would need to look it up under GMC Truck to find the parts, so he told me there was no such a thing, and I asked him to look it up anyway. the look on his face was priceless.

lol! Yeah, The guys at Napa would tell me they had never heard of one and didn't think it existed. But in this case the customer was right. lol

The IDIOTS at my local NAPA store have never heard of a Chevy 350 V-8! Seriously, even the general manager doesn't know anything. Worst parts store I've ever been in.

They probably relate to it as a 5.7 liter V8. Bad enough I was getting some part for my 02 Trans Am from Oreilly auto parts the counter person kept repeating 350 350 350!!!! I told him no it's a 5.7 liter LS1 which is a 346 but their book says 350

It would be the "Chevy" part that would throw these clowns when their computer says "Chevrolet".

Last time I was there I ordered all three flex lines for the brakes on my '96 F-250. I told the manager I needed the little U-shaped clips that held the one end. He says, " They're generic, I have boxes of them, I can get the right ones when I see the hoses.' 2-3 days later I go in to get the hoses and he tells me, "I wouldn't have anything like that...". Too lazy to look was my impression. I'll never cast a shadow in his doorway ever again.
