I have two stories of other peoples mistakes that worked out well for me. About 20 years ago a friend of mine shows up at my place with a 79 Camaro behind his tow truck and asks me if I want to buy it for $75. He said he picked it up from a guy because it didn't run any more. I said sure, I could always use it for parts. He drops it in my driveway and I cranked it over to have a listen and it cranked over kind of slow so I turn the distributor a little and tried again. It sound better but still didn't fire. I turned the distributor a little more and it fired right up. My friend is standing beside me and I knew he was thinking sh*t, I could have got $500 for it.
Years later I needed a car and a guy I worked with told me about an 89 Mustang with a 2.3 in it that his BIL had that he couldn't get running that he wanted to sell. I went over and had a look at it and cranked it over and had a listen. I had heard that sound before so I made a deal with the guy for $50. I called my brother to come over and when he got there I said have a look at the timing belt when I crank it over to see if it's moving. I cranked it and he said it wasn't moving. I send him over to canadian tire to grab a belt while I pulled the timing cover of and when he got back I installed the new belt and started the car. Cost me $15 for the belt and I drove the car home. The next day at work the guy that told me about the car tells me his BIL had tears in his eyes as I drove away. Turns out the guy had been trying to get the car running for over a year and could not figure out what was wrong with it.
