Problems

yesterday I took a little trip to see my friends Clark and JR at baddonkee hot rods to inquire about some parts for the recycled40ford woodie.

The boys had attended an auction in Indiana where they scored parts of a 46 ford woodie. Luckily, I was able to get a lower rear gate hinge (which I'll restore for my car and a few other bits from the same car)

unfortunately the trip there was not without incident..

near Abbotstown, PA the car suddenly started running rough, I quikly found a nice safe spot to stop and realized that the mallory distributor cap and come ajar..

The cap was trashed, but luckily I was able to keep running as the juice arced from the cap to the rotor.. Unfortunately, this process damaged the rotor and sent parts of plastic down inside my new distributor.

luckily I was able to "arc" my way to the boys where a new cap awaited, later I stopped to visit another friend (and pickup a rough 39 ford rear fender) where I decided to swap out the distributor modules in case it had been damaged..

At the end of the day. I managed to pull of 15MPG (even running rough) and made it home (slowly) but safely.

today I ordered a new cap and rotor hopefully this should solve any issues..
