Fixed a broken distributor points wire on my 72 volvo, with a twist tie from a bag of bread while driving from ontario to alberta via the USA. Car had started bucking and backfiring with 3 foot flames coming out the exhaust, i thought i was screwed, but traced it to the broken points wire. The makeshift repair took me from southern michigan to north dakota where i replaced it with some proper wire i found at an all-night truckstop.
