I used a Bic pen to fix the shift linkage on a 65 Mustang out in the middle of the desert. Trying to go 70 miles in first gear with a 202 would have taken me about 10 hours.
Always wanted to do that commercial "Dear Bic, you're not going to believe this but..."

You probably meant 302, but if it was a 65 it would have been a 289.

Sorry, just felt like getting nit-picky. ;}

No kidding! I first used one to prop open the carbureator on my Chrysler New Yorker, so I could get it started. Of course, I also had a pair of leather gloves to put out the fire.

I used a bobbie pin I found under the carpet in the trunk of my '67 Mustang. I bought some cotter pins but left the bobbie pin in to see how long it would last.

Answer: Three weeks.
