In the early 70s my Father in Law had a 6 cylinder Chevy pick up that was bad to burn oil (most of them were). He was always telling everyone to keep an eye on the oil when driving it. One day, 2 of the younger girls in the family decided to take the truck shopping. About halfway there the truck quit, and the girls decided maybe it was low on oil. They checked under the hood, and sure enough, no sign of oil. The girls walked about a mile to a country station and got 3 quarts of oil and poured in the engine, still no sign of oil. Back to the store for more oil, still no sign of it in the engine. They walked between the truck and the store till they carried enough oil to fill that 6 cylinder chevy to the top of the filler cap, but it still wouldn't start. :lol: Just then a neighbor came by and gave them a ride home. They told Dad the truck wouldn't start, but didn't mention the oil. Mr. Bradley was busy planting soybeans, so he just called locla garage to go get truck and fix it.
The mechanic put a set of points in it and started it. when those pistons started running up and down in that oil filled engine, things got interesting. It blew the filler cap off, blew the crankcase breather pipe off the side of the engine, and pushed oil up through the distributor bushing, blowing off the distributor cap. Sure wish I had been a little mous in the garage watching all of that.
