sprayed it with extinguisher at gas station i was at ... darrel (nissandoc) came out from work to help me look at it... we fired it up (no pun intended) and it started. drove it with a cylinder down (no wire) to MJ Nissan. fixed the leaky part best he could, and rednecked a wire to get me home. runs like eternal SH** now... darrel also tack'd in some metal on the floor pan as a temp fix. so now, when i get paid i have to not only get brakes but now new wires dist cap and rotor ... i probably will jsut do either brakes or engine stuff ... and i guess it'll be another month before i get it road worthy... i think i'm gonna have to ditch this cab eventually (few years down the road) ... seems like theres a LOT of rust.
