Hello all you brickheads. I have a fun tale for all to read. My daughters 84(Gamudness) is a bit on the spooky side. In comes my daughter announcing that old blackie wont start. Now I go out and say take it easy honey and I will put the old charger on her battery and will get it started in about 2 hours.She claims that Gamudness knows we are replacing him with a 90 model and he is pissed off and that is why he wont start. Well low and behold 2 hours latter I give it try and no start. HMMMMM I do the fuse roll check and the feel his various switches click in. No start.HMMMMMM Out comes my daughter bag in hand expecting the old car to be humming just fine cause the car likes me better than her.Well I am a bit red faced in our driveway at at this point. Hop in and when I tell you too just crank the car over a few turns I want to check for spark. So out comes the plugs and neatly I arrange them all agaisnt the valve cover to watch them spark. Here comes mom now asking if she needs to give my little girl a ride to school just a miniute the the doctor is consallting with the patient at this very minute. Go ahead and give it a quick crank I say to my little one. Now I am watching for spark and call out you can stop now, Stop now , would you please stop cranking it . I look up and she is standing next to me holding the key in her hand loudly proclaiming to me that she did stop cranking 20 seconds AGO!!!! and would I please talk to the car so it would stop!!! Well at this point I now know that there is no problem with fuel delivery cause that old girlis spewing fuel most wonderfully out all the spark holes and now mom says , Is there somthing wrong with it?? No I just wanted to see how fast I could make it crank!!!! Heres your sign. My daugter now hands me the key and says that she cant help me with it anymore she needs to take a call on the cell phone and RUNS away from me and her fickle car. Mom in the mean time decides to give me a weather forcast as I am smacking the starter with a broom stick to free up the stuck coil. Now you broke it she says it was really running rather quitely until you hit it with a stick. I closed the hood and reached for a beer that wasnt there and said yes honey tommorow is another day and we need to give Gamudness time to recharge his battery and cool down his starter. I will give her a ride back to school before the snow storm hits. Soo goes another adventure in brickhead driveway true stories. Mike
