Just remembered the rest of the battery story. I was living on very low wages at the time, and since the battery worked, I figured I wouldn't get another one right away. Instead of continuing with the wire wrapped around the screws, I got a flat plate from the hardware store--the kind with screw holes you use to join pieces of wood--and just jumped the melted lead bars in the battery with this plate and two screws. Well..........it worked, but I didn't take into account the battery gases that were working up through the opening. Every week, this thing would corrode enough that the car wouldn't start, so every week, I'd take off the plate, rub it with steel wool, put it back on, and drive it another week. This battery lasted me for almost another year. I even got so I could figure out when I'd need to clean the plate, so the starter would work the next morning. Boy, what you won't go through when money's tight. And of course I had grown up on a farm where money was always tight and you ALWAYS used something until it was completely clapped out. Naturally, you didn't spend any money to fix a machine if it would work at all.
