I LOVE IT !!!  This is stuff that gets my adrenalyn flowing.  I'm
starting a GRAPES file.  Anyone else do wierd and creative things to keep
their car going?  Please limit the topic to things that might be of
benefit to one of our LBCs..  Here's another one to keep the ball
rolling.

A few days ago my daughter's car died on the street.  The center contact
had fallen out of the Inside of the dizzy cap.  I used a blade of grass
as a shim to hold the contact in the cap, put it back on, fired right up,
got it to the parts store.
