I f*in hate this car.

Last week was supposed to be the week where I bought the EFI conversion for my 76 Valiant. Well my wife's Volvo had other plans and I ended up spending the money that I was going to use for the EFI conversion kit on her car. So I figured waiting 2 more weeks to get the kit wouldn't hurt it since tomorrow's paycheck has to pay the rent.

Nope. The car had to fail on me at the worst time. I didn't know I had to work yesterday and I was an hour and 1/2 late. Think the car started for me? Nope. Well it did half-way. It ran until I put it in reverse, where it moved 5 feet and promptly died and continued to roll back another 5 feet. Boy it was AWESOME pushing back a Plymouth Valiant to the front of my garage! :cheers: It did it's stupid crank over **** again and I couldn't get the damned points to unstick.

Today it still did the same thing, so I figured I'd pop off the distributor cap to manually unstick the points. Guess what? Now the damned cap won't go back on. Nope, it won't even sit on the damned distributor correctly and I have no friggin idea why because there's NO REASON why it shouldn't. The rotor is sitting perfectly on the distributor and I'm beyond my wit's end with this stupid car. Anything I've done with this car, it's fought me tooth and nail - even something so mundane as an oil change. Now I have to take my wife's car to work (again) with its retardedly loud exhaust and pray I don't get pulled over.


...God I hate being broke and GOD I HATE THIS CAR. :banghead::banghead:
