I've had some great advice at autoparts stores, but some bad advice too. Once, I went into Autobone out on Olden Ave in Ewing (right by Rt. 31) and the four kids behind the desk had NO clue what a "measuring caliper" was. I just wanted to, real quick, double-check the size of the breather cap for my f-body before buying one (low on $$$, don't want to throw it away on the wrong part) and they kept asking me "what make and model do you want a caliper for" and "why do you want a caliper to measure something?" I then realized ... these are the very same people who beat me out of a job there!

Finally, this older guy (probably the manager or something) came out from behind the desk and pulled out the measuring caliper, 2 seconds later I had a measurement ... 1.503" if memory serves (close enough to 1.5 to call it one-and-a-half), picked my part out, and paid for it. I then heard him explaining to the other four what a measuring caliper is...
