Man! I screwed myself

Featured Replies

I noticed the other day that there was some water dripping from my water pump. It looked like it was from the gasket but just to be safe I wanted to check to make sure that it was pumping water.

So I used the old 'squeeze' test on the upper rad hose. Something caught my attention behind me and I whipped around and my hand smacked the distributor cap off. I looked at everything and all seemed to be in order so I put it back on but the car wouldn't start yet I was getting spark. I got frustrated and left it.

I was about to post to ask for help when I decided to check it again. I pulled off the rotor and noticed that the base was cracked. It must have smacked the inside of the cap and twisted and snapped. That of course would have thrown of my timing.

So now I gotta go buy a new rotor.

There goes another $4.00

LOL. Smart@$$. Yeah I was quite relieved. I was thinking it was something more serious. The only reason it's a bother is that I will have to wait till Monday or Teusday before I get a chance to get it and I was hoping to drive the Z on Sunday.

Atleast it isnt something serious!

Bambikiller...Dont take this the wrong way but your avatar is making me laugh! For some reason I find the way they are dancing comical! Dont get me wrong...ordinarily I like when girls dance, but for some reason it looks comical to me how they are moving. Maybe it is because it is slow? But BELIEVE me!...Christina is still hotter than fire to me! You can have the other two! ;)

Sorry to hijack the thread guys.
