“OK, it’s for a 1956 Porsche that’s been converted to 12 volts.”

Go to NAPA and it’s, “We have a 36 month and a 48 month in stock. If you want the 60 month I can have it this afternoon.”
I have a wholesale account with AZ and it’s still painful. At this point I am sometimes explaining to them how to do stuff on their computer system. Sadly the closest NAPA is 30+ minutes away.
