lost a part last night

Back in my Navy days, I had a part time job at the Miramar auto hobby shop. Part of my job was to man the Allen tune-up machine.

One day I left my two-piece distributor wrench standing on the bolt of an Olds distributor. Next day a Lt JG came back with the wrench. He'd driven home, then around town, and the dist. came loose and started running badly --retarded timing.

Back in those days, a dist. wrench was a significant investment for my tool box, because I sure didn't need one for a Mopar RB!!!
