Sun MDT distributor tester

I don't know why but that just reminded me of my autoshop teacher and his antics. Mr. Birmingham, we called him 'Aunt B'.
What a great guy, good teacher.
Reminded me of how he would randomly connect and power up the Sun Distributor machine coil to the door knob after the bell would ring. If you got there late and grabbed that knob back down the hall you went. Oh yeah... I remember that well.
If he saw you smoking in the shop or out back he would take a bucket full of nasty water from the tire leak checking well, sneak up and yell 'fire' and throw that nastyass rusty water on us.
He drove a Land Rover to school daily and said he had a 70 LT1 Vette at home. As a senior he had 3 of us up to his rural house once, gave us beer, showed us his Vette and told many tall street racing tails. he was always 'teaching' us.
I remember standing in the door of that rickety old detached one car garage gaga over that car and he told us "garage floors are mostly level, always leave the car in neutral with the brake off. This way if you have a fire you can push or pull the car out and save it." IIRC he told us he learned that one the hard way.
He was a teacher but he was a Punk.
A really good teacher like that would be in jail today ...
