why?? (rant/question)
some of yall might have seen my other thread about spendin an afternoon at the junkyard yesterday. i went back today to pick up my manifold looked like the right one got home and the waterheads at jasper put a CAR manifold on a engine goin in a TRUCK. the exhaust is bent for a C6AE manifold the manifold the guy at the junk yard gave me was a D2TE manifold and the truck collector is more straight and the car is more angled down. i am not complainin one bit about the service becuase he gave me exactly what i should have needed. so my question is why would they do that? are they just that stupid? and what should i look for to get the right manifold? it is the passenger side. also i need horn parts for a 76 what years would work? was there a harness change?

i needed the C6AE got the D2TE becuase i said it is a 390 and its for a truck. i figured they put the engine in a truck they would put truck manifolds on it. it has a true dual exhaust and its bent for the car manifold.

wierd things found
I found a nail stuck in the master cylinder once while replacing the pads .
Found out the nail was because the brake line was tore from the disc brake valve on the frame ( I had no front brakes till i found this)
