85 turbo 16v does not cross ref at parts store / Why?

I have a 85 900 turbo 16v. I have spent the last 24 hrs trying to get basic parts from part store. First it was the fuel filter - correct size was cross referenced and turned out to be the one for the 86 900 turbo 16v - they gave the one for 85 turbo 8v. I figured this out after chating with a couple of guys on saabnet.
Now it is the Spark plugs - correct size if you have a 8v engine but in the 16v the top of the plug is larger so the socket hits on the engine wall before the plug gets snug.
diddo with the air filter. My filter they gave me was about 2/3 the size of the corect filter.
Should I just tell them I have a 86 turbo
If you have experenced this problem let me know your solution
Is this because 85 was the first year of the 16 valve yet not all 85 are 16 valve?
