#1. I had a NOS distributor that came with coach #2. Put it in, drove to work and back. The night before, I had read a comment about distributors shipped with modules that were not so good. So at mile 27 on the way home, I knew why the engine stopped just short of the top of the hill. I managed to crest the hill and down the half mile, through the light and into the gas station. Had to call my wife to bring the box of spares, which was still in the garage.

#2. Freeway speeds, Driving rain, A/C belt could have been tighter (?), Kapow!
Belt flails around, grabs the wiring harness, locks the fan, and wrecks the other belts. Coasts to the top of the exit, just barely make it over the crest... roll down into the nearest (closed) gas station. Gain serious appreciation of the aux. vac. pump.
Can repair the wires & belts. (if all the spares boxes had gotten in) The stopper was the broken plastic line to the oil pressure gauge. Recommend carrying line splicing material or a plug for the oil pressure port.
