Thanks, Tom.

The nearest NAPA is 46 miles away so it'll be a few days before I might
head that way.  I'll be sure to check them out, though.

The ones I've tried locally are VIP auto and Car Quest ... both of which
have counter help that just stare at me blankly when I ask.  I even
showed them an example (wire attached, though).
