Thought I'd make a thread about our journey.
For those who don't know, Frankie is a 69 Pkymouth Fury III 2dr sportsroof which belongs to my girlfriend Maggie.
Maggie was unable to come to the 6th Annual C Body show so I drove Frankie to the show on her behalf.
This trip is the first big trip outa town.
Also first official car show for Frankie.
We bought the car 2020 and Covid shut down the borders and car shows in general for us hosers in Canada.
Here's Frankie and getting loaded for the long trek.

After I put the phone down, I decided to change out the coil and ballast resistor.
Both looked very old and with the loose wire there is a possibility the coil was shorting out based on the nasty backfiring.

So when ya think ya had everything...
My tool kit does not have a flathead screwdriver bit!!
Dammit!
Whats a poor stranded Hoser to do??
Channelocks will do just fine...
Don't care at this point if I wreck the threads on the coil bracket screw. It in the middle anyways..

Coil installed and pulled ballast resistor out from its residential glove box living quarters.

Always appreciate your post @cbarge.

Glad you made it to your destination and appreciate your roadside electrical repair video. Congrats to Frankie for rolling into the 100,000 mile club too!
