Model 'A' Boo Boo's or Oopsie Daisy's

[JayJay]

Our club has two “awards” that we give out monthly - a “Hard Luck” award, where the car lets you down, and an “Edsel” award, where you do something that lets the car down. These sound a lot like “Edsel” issues to me. My most embarrassing one was removing the coil to distributor high tension wire and failing to push it in completely when reinstalling. Left me stranded when it finally worked completely out about 900 touring miles later. Finally figured it out after about 15 minutes when I remembered the first rule of troubleshooting: look to whatever you worked on last.
