Re: Well my birthday (today) pretty much SUCKED!

I got a good one I took my 1983 Subaru GL wagon to Canada. We were driving through Ottawa when we heard a bang, and then we saw smoke like a ton of it. They were teasing me that all the bugs were now dead in Canada . Well we drove it home 350 miles . Took it to the shop. Found that the Distributor Bushing failed and the rotor was flopping all over the place. it must have fired # 3 when it should have fired #4 because we had a big hole in the piton . When he checked compression there was none . We replaced the motor. I had a lot of respect for Subaru that day. It was like a dead horse getting me back home before it dies . That must be the limp home feature
