Not Ranked
Well got up this morning(5:45) and it was raining -- bummer--- checked the internet weather,should clear up by 8:00 --good can still go !! 8 rolls around roads alittle wet, check weather again --looks good till 6. Call the track they are drying the track getting ready to run. I am going get the car out check fluids (all topped off) check axle nuts (good) get gas on the way--- car warmed up time to go --9:15 alittle later than I would have liked but still get their about 10-10:30---I take off rumbble around the town for a few minutes now go get gas leave towards my favorite station ------------------------------man not even 3 miles from my house car dies, know exactly what it is -- distributor gear pin sheared (happened bofore at London,Ohio)Well I have been getting ready to replace the distributor just got all the parts(steel gear and advance curve kit) and set up on Thursday --no time to put in before track --geesh would have taken around 15-20 minutes to do ---but NOOOO got to go to the track. Well nothing I like better than working on the side of the road (55mph speed limit) atleast not to far from home -- 5 minitues a friend stops get a ride back to my house to get the new distributor-- back to car in 15 min. lotsa poeple stop most I know (Kim M. too thanks for stopping)afew new . takes forever to get distributor indexed finally get running timing set double check everything now the time is noon ---- not going to the track--- drive around a bit never made it to the gas station either --got home rechecked timing drove alittle and put away ----
--- Change distributor at home 20 minutes -----------
--- Change on side of road 2.5 to 3 hours ------------
--- Having Murphy"s Law do its thing PRICELESS!!! ---
