   When the car started up that Friday afternoon I thought it sounded   
   more like something went wrong with the motor.   
      
   The noise was similar to what I heard when I was in Wyoming driving   
   up the Rocky Mountains, that's why I thought it was the engine.   
   That time I had the car towed to Laramie for a motor exchange before   
   I could drive back to Indiana.   
      
   I used to be able to do simple things, but that was before cars got   
   computerized.   
      
   I built a Heath-Kit Ignition Analyzer to check out my cars, but now   
   I haven't the slightest idea how to use it with my Dodge that has a   
   Distributorless Ignition System.
