I know there are a lot of bone head ignorant parts people (cashiers)but =
there are also a few of us smart ones too. We are the ones that know =
how to use the catalogs and in fact know a lot about cars and work on =
them too. I know we are few but if you need a part and you are in Buena =
Park, Ca. come on in to Hi/Lo automotive and experience the quality =
that Mr. Tim can offer----oh and sometimes it is the idiot customers =
that are too stupid to even be working on cars---ie. how do you change =
an oil filter? just felt that I needed to respond to all parts people =
being stupid --they are not---although Chiefs and other big chains do =
have a lot of morons that don't know what a 9" ford is or from. Wow =
this feels good to get this all out----oh and by the way help the morons =
out know the info about your car/truck otherwise they talk the same shit =
about you as you do of them.

Subject: check valve bleeders

Don,

Russell makes the check valve bleeders.

You can buy them direct from Russell for about 12.00 each (i think)

They tell me that AutoZone sells them..but none of the AZ boys ever
heard of them and mumble something about "...special order...duh =
maybe=20
5 or 6 weeks..duh what was them things called again". (minumum =
forks
in family tree)

I saw them in Hot Rod (i think) several months ago in one of those
little new product boxes. I would try Russell Direct. I don't =
have
the number with me today but will post it tomorrow..

Hope this helps

culater john
