In the 60s, my dad a sort-of rare 1963 Pontiac Lemans with a rear transaxle and a 326 V8 up front. It was rare even then (as I found out later).
I wanted to be cool, so I went to yank the air-cleaner cover off and flip it, so it would make lots of noise when I stomped on the pedal. Well, I accidentally dropped the wing nut down the carb. One of my friends said "don't worry about it", and "just nail it" and it "will clean istelf out." Well?? The engine blew to pieces.
