Driving from your place to mine, as short as it was, turned out to be "interesting". While swinging around the circle in front of the house all of a sudden I hear a whirring/scraping/clanging sound, and simultaniously with a really loud "thump" under the hood the engine dies.

OUCH!!!http://images.ford-trucks.com/forums...s/confused.gif

Turned out to be a minor thing... seems the bolt that holds the horseshoe bracket that in turn holds the distributor in place, evaporated along with the horseshoe. So, the distributor popped out and banged the underside of the hood. Even found the bracket, and the bolt on the road.

lucky for you!! its a long walk to the junkyard, and i can hear momma when you ask for the car.http://images.ford-trucks.com/forums...s2/cussing.gif
I decided not to bother with this today, as I wanted to try out the new mower. It's a nice mower actually:
Well, it was a nice mower until while mowing, my wife was hollaring that it's my turn to watch our son and I'm trying hard to ignore her (I know, I'm rude) because I had one strip of grass to go before I was done mowing. So, I turn my head, and yell over the mower, ONE MORE MINUTE! then BAMM! in the chest I get hit with a low hanging branch knocking me off the mower, and the mower keeps going in 4th gear right into the tree that owns the low hanging branch.
