The dumbest thing I've seen in years
I have done my share of stupid things, I have wrecked alot of good stuff in the pursuit of repairing things over the years but thankfully I am not this dumb. I think this takes the cake.
You may remember a couple months back a Orange 71 Cutlass convertable in Minnesota. Well after probing around the engine wondering why different things didn't work I noticed the guy had hooked up an oil pressure line to the oil fill tube and abandoned it after he had no oil pressure. I had to share a pic of this.  Last edited by MN71W30; April 29th, 2009 at 01:13 PM.. |

Maybe he was a control freak and wanted to monitor the oil fill rate?
That really does take the cake! |

He did other things
He also drilled several holes into the valve covers and installed screws. I wondered why a wire was burned off the horn relay and when reinstalled it looked like an arc welder. Until I found that he had removed the red plastic insulator from the postitive post on the alternator and had it shorted on the case.
I'm hoping he removed the oil tube before drilling it out for the oil pressure switch but I really doubt it.  |
