.......an engine with a carb and distributor, be it Ford, Chebbie or any other make is nothing but a big air pump that has a set of spark plugs to make an air fuel mixture burn to turn a long shaft that eventually turns a wheel-tire combo to make the car go down the road. Sometimes that combo, it's doomed to daily pain and eventual destruction no matter how much loving care, money, gifts of premium liquids and attention you give it - just like some ladies I have known in the distant past
