Dumb stories ,about your first car...

First car was a 61 falcon I had overhauled the carb, when I was putting the after Market air cleaner back on I dropped a nut and bolt down the carb. Of course I had it running!

Lots of noise before I could get it shut off. Managed to find enough tools to get the head off and found the nut sitting on top of one of the Pistons smashed flat. Put the head back on and headed home only to have the motor start making a whole lot of funny noises.

Took it to my grandad he pulled the head again and found the bolt stuck in one of the valves. Pulled it out and the old girl still ran like a top.
Still have that bolt!
