DEAD 1972 plymouth valiant
LOLOL. Well I've run into this. The thing won't work so let's rebuild it and introduce 16 additional problems, while not fixing the other one. Used to be an amateur radio operator, we called him the "golden screwdriver" and that was NO compliment. He would scan the Portland papers for estate sales, then go talk the widow out of a Great Big Bunch of ham gear, then part it all out and sell it. And when something did not seem to work as he expected, he would immediately "golden screwdriver" it. Of course he never told this to prospective buyers.
I damn near hit him once at the Tacoma "hamfest." Came up to me wanted to "bury the hatchet." Yeh, I'll 'bury the hatchet', all right.
