How do you walk into NAPA to buy 40 Ford Parts?

[Krylon32]

I have tried the local NAPA for some parts and have been moderately successful. My best bet used to be my local Auto Value. For the last 30 years I have had the same counter person's who helped me with most of my parts requests. Unfortunately they both retired at the end of the year. They did compile a sheet with most of the parts I frequently use which will help. They also still have many books with old parts listed.
