Happened to me last year coming home from the Bakersfield points race.The ignition module died in my Silverado half way up the hill heading south toward Gorman-right on the worst part of the grade. I called on the call box( the rural ones still work and don't have pieces missing or graffiti obliterrating the diractions),and a flatbed arrived in about 20 minutes with the craziest old gal I ever saw running it. My truck went on the flatbed, the stinger came out and a ball screwed into it, and we rigged some lights. This person was a cross between Tugboat Annie,Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, but she really was pretty funny and nice. 100 mile tow home to Glendora from Gorman cost $500.00,auto club would tow 10 miles free, then $9.00 a mile. I paid for it, got up early Sunday and got a NAPA module,fixed the truck, and went to the last Irwindale Summit race . I advise all of you to carry and know how to install, a fuel pump relay, ignition module, and a distributor rotor so a $40.00 part won't turn into a $500.00 tow late at night.Live and learn, it could have been worse,like spending the night on the mountain with her until the local parts store opens. At least I didn't hear banjos.
