Went into the local parts store and requested a part at the counter.
Conversation went like this:
Counter person: what engine does it have?
Me: 350 (already told him make and model)
CP: A 350????
Me: yes, 350
CP: Are you sure?
Me: yes, I am sure
CP: I have never heard of that engine
Me: 350 cid, there are a few of them around...
CP: cid???
Me: Impatient stare
CP: It should be "something" liter, like is it a 350 liter?...

OK, I have new theory that I'm curious if I'm right about.
The theory is based on the fact that you can tell a "self-taught" mechanic
from one that learned from working with others.
