Wow, burying my pickup in the snow up to the frame, with the car trailer in tow and my Acadian on the trailer somehow doesn't seem so bad now. I guess I had a pretty good day after all.
Sucks about the scratch. The no spark part should be an easy one to figure out.

I had the camera in the truck, and thought of taking a pic, but I was so upset that I had made the mistake and slid just a bit too far with the truck and trailer that I just buckled down, got out the tractor and snowblower and did what it took to get it out!

true but if it doesn't happen again I will be happy,and I think it's something with the points since I ran power to the coil right off the batt and still no spark

Can we use this for multi rants? I am so Ticked today, I could spit.. My car is still not equiped with 4 speed! Why? I have the new starter,new bolts, and NO B-body clutch fork !!!!! I had previously ordered a muncie shifter handle, that attaches to Hurst shifter, from Hubbards.. shipping was a little rich BUT I ordered it Monday, and it was here Wed!!! So when I discovered, I needed special clutch fork, I liked the picture, and price from Ecklers, so i ordered it Feb 15...I e-mailed them, and they said they shipped it out Feb 19th.. I e-mailed them back, and asked why it took 2 days for order to go to shipping? They said they were moving..I e-mailed today and asked HOW did you ship it? She e-mailed back and said, they sent it in the mail!!!!!!Should BE HERE IN 2 WEEKS! I paid 42.99 plus 39.00 for shipping!!!! how heavy is a clutch FORK? I emailed them back and told them I was ticked... i putting the cover on it, and it can sit there, til Hell freezes over in July...
Some of them just dont get it... I dont mind paying for good product or good service...They think Canada is 5000 miles away.... This is why I got out of retail.. eg. order 4 tires, have customer drive in 20 miles, and tires not on delivery truck, because some non -baby boomer FORGOT to put them on truck!!!!!! Sound common? I'm sure you and Todd see it every day... They did have the guts to e-mail me back... this really ticks me, after every retailer on internet, saying all the forks are the same....I quit I going to bed.....
