Dumb things that you did.......because you didn't know any better.

I guess you can call me dumb because I told him to do it, but in my mind I'm not the dumb one...lol..
In the early eighties we were juniors in high school and auto shop class... My best friend was tuning up his 67 Impala with a 327 and it had 202 fueler heads LOL... That's what I remember him saying... Obviously he had the timing way off and he turned the car off and it started dieseling terribly and would not stop... He was in a panic and all I could think to do was to cut the electricity off to the distributor.. I balled out "GRAB THE COIL WIRE!!"... Well he did..LOL... Needless to say he got every last one of those 10, 000 volts... First off I know I never seen our shop teacher mr. Kingham (RIP) laughed so hard... Needless to say we weren't his favorites... Actually the whole auto shop was pretty much in tears and Steve wasn't all that happy either..lol..
To this very day 35 years later I can say hey Steve "grab the coil wire" and still get a f-you!!... LOL.. I was just talking to my son who's 30 years old the other day and told him I was talking to Steve LOL he said did you ask him to grab the coil wire LOL... That story is legendary...
