Well it all started when Jon said I'm going to drive the M-37 to eat, you should drive your Town Wagon.
So I got in the TW and Jon in his M-37, we had to go 10 miles to the next town to "Taco Tuesday." Our Jeep club goes to Taco Tuesday every week.
Jon was in front of me. He took off and well the Town Wagon sorda did. So I pulled over on the side of the road, and it would not start up. So I called Jon and asked if he was going to stop, he said he would turn around and be right back. So I'm cranking and cranking and cranking away at the TW. Nothing. Finally I think.... Where is Jon, so I called him and he said "I have a problem, I am out of gas." I said what do you want me todo. He said go get gas from my house (2 blocks away) and bring it to him. So I do that. He fills up and all is good. I go take my Jeep back to my house and go back to the Town Wagon. Jon is now next to it in the M-37. We crank and crank and crank. Nothing. Jon figures it out... no spark. So we go back to my house get the coil out of my CJ7 and go back to the TW. Fires up!! Yea!!! So we drive it back to my house. I get in my other Jeep and we head off to get Jon's truck. I pull in behind him, and he is just sitting there, I couldn't figure out what the problem was. So I finally get out and he is ticked. His truck won't start. Guess why.... No spark. So he messed with it for about 20 minutes. Nothing. I call my Dad he comes with the Tractor and a rope and he pulls Jon home.
So we finally get to Taco Tuesday 2 1/2 hours after we left the first time, and guess what...... NO TACOS. So we told our story to the Jeep people, they enjoyed it, and we came home to a driveway full of broken trucks.
I guess the good part of this story is that we did pick up the 318 from the Machine Shop today!!!
Hope your day was better than ours!!!
