I remember those, scrawny little mounts that were very prone to break. They "fixed" them with a cable loop. Then later modified the mount with an interlocking steel safety hook, but even that would eventually fail.

I was delivering a customers car one day, think it was a 66 Impala, 327. I had to make a left turn across a busy divided highway. I had sat for a long time waiting for traffic to clear, and made my move. When I took off, the engine rared up and the throttle went wide open. I had the wheels turned left and it launched into a simi- doughnut... Right in front of a cop! Out of control, missed the street I was turning on, into the ditch, out of the ditch, sideways in the street by the time I found the key to shut it down.

The cop didn't stop me. To this day I don't know why.

I told the owner what just happened, asked if she wanted me to take it back and fix it... "No", she calmly replied, "It's been like that a long time, I just turn the key off when it does it".
