Another "won't crank" issue

[LanceBrad]

My guess would be that in 79, your car could have come with a 301 Pontiac with a 2v carburetor or a Chevy 305 with a 4v carburetor. They're both 5 liter engines. The parts store should have asked you the vin. That would have told them what engine the car came with.

I told them which engine it was. They still gave me the wrong starter, and said "yep, it'll fit that engine".

I like it when they say this is the one we sell the most, so it's probably the correct one!
