I quit repairing my own car many years past. After spending many valuable 1960’s dollars replacing various parts to try and fix my British car’s unpredictable electrical system, a mechanic who knew what he was doing found a short in a wire in the distributer, and fixed it with an inch or two of electrical tape, adding – “you might want to replace that wire”. I was mortified.
