The other day, made my daily trip to town, then was taking my usual little drive around town, before heading home. Out on the far edge of town, and the trudk died Dead. No coudh, no sputter, nothing. Just like turning the key off.
Checked, it was getting fuel to the carb, but no spark. No cell phone, of course. Funny part, I'd just stopped at a Dollar Store to get some batteries, and saw they were selling $20 cell phones, and $5 phone cards. And, I decided to get one later. Arrrgghh. I was only a few hundred yards from a store tho, and was able to call to have it carried home.
The younger kid looked at it and determined it's probably ony the module in the distributer. That should run less than $10, and he'll probably be able to get it in tomorrow. Sometimes having kids is a good thing. LOL
It's a '79 GMC pickup, with 130"K miles, and normally runs great. Got it for about $1200 in about Jul 2001. Got a little rust, and isn't worth restoring, the air condiditoning compressor died earlier this year, the radio is giving problems, the defroster doesn't work (it's still got heat), but it's not bad, and I'm gonna run it until it dies beyond bringing back. After all, it's a pickup. If God had meant mankind to walk he'd never have invented pickups. Life is basically good.
JOAT Don't believe everything you think.
