Junk Yard

I spent last Sunday at the junk yard looking for parts.  Pick a Part in Sun Valley, CA to be exact and it was definitely an interesting experience.  I found a 1977 Chevy Impala with the engine completely intact to dismantle and I was able to score an intake manifold and a left and a right exhaust manifold.  The trip was almost a complete success except for the hour and a half I wasted picking parts of an old Camaro that I could not use.  Apparently there is a big difference between intake manifolds for 2-Barrel and 4-Barrel carburetors.  These is also apparently a pretty big difference between the exhaust manifolds for a V6 and V8 engine.  Anyway, spent about 60 bucks on the three parts, whereas new, they would have cost about $350-$450 at some places.
