  I knew the last thing I did was checking the points so I
>> pulled the distributor cap.... we checked that the points were sparking, 
>> till we realized the rotor was gone!  I had pulled it out when 
>> checking/gapping the points the day before and forgot to put it back. I 
>> know I'll have to hear this for the rest of my life (specially from my 
>> neighbor Yancey!) but we had a good laugh!  A friday funny Healey comedy 
>> classic and a lesson learned that a small dollar part missing or broken 
>> can have you stranded.
