To hear, from the lips of former Norwood Workers, the stories about how things were done when cars came “down the line” shatters many ‘authority’ folks. Like a Camaro coming out of Fisher Body that didn’t have the hole in the floor pan for the trans, but a four speed was on the order. They called the worker “Hatcher” because he came along with the sheer gun and made the hole, not missing the time constraint. ~ true story...
Here, a worker shows how he was the welder who spent an additional 11 seconds to make sure a weld was correct! Alway got reprimanded.

Of course I never say "NEVER", but in talking to an old friend of mine who was a line supervisor, the substitution rule was that you could add an upgraded part, but not a downgraded part. So if you ran out of standard sized battery trays, you could substitute the larger tray from a HD battery/big engine car, but not vice versa. With engine fans I would think you could add a clutch fan or fan with more blades if your car was spec'd for less, but you couldn't downgrade to, say a 4 blade no clutch fan in an air conditioned car. It was to be avoided if possible, but it was preferable to stopping the line or pulling cars to the side. In this case, the 772 fan would be an "upgrade", right?
