When I was looking for spark plugs for my '46, I called two places and told 'em I needed spark plugs for a 1946 Chevrolet 2 ton truck with a 235 engine. One place said they couldn't help me, the other place said it would be a special order item and would be just over $2 a plug.
I pulled one of the plugs out and called both places the next day saying only I needed a Champion number blah blah. Wouldn't you know they didn't have that specific plug, but they had the AC or some other company version.. for $1.09 a piece.
I did the same thing.
I pulled one of the plugs and took it in. I told the guy that I needed "six of these" and handed him the plug.
It's amazing how much you can get locally when you have a part to thunk down in front of the guy.
