I am so STUPID.
This past weekend I drove the stang to Nashbille Tenn. and back. No big deal right, it's about 2 1/2 hours from where I live. I get ready to leave Nashville sunday morning and pop the hood, I check the oil, the belts, and the tranny fluid. The tranny was just a little low so I topped it off. I always carry a couple qts. of oil and fluid and a gallon of coolant just in case. I didnt put the dipstick back in. I laid it acroos the intake and pass. fender well. It rode the whole way home and never moved.
I drove the car mon. and tues. 100 miles each day to work and back. I rebuilt the carb. on my dads work truck last night at a buddies shop. While we where there I decided to check the oil and other stuff. I popped the hood walked around and opened it and there it laid on top of the motor. I was like S*^t. I put it back in and checked the fluid level. It was about a qt. low. not to bad though.
I asked the guy who owned the shop and he said it wouldnt have hurt it to bad if it just gradually lost fluid on the way but it's good I caught it now. I felt liek such a dumbass. I am building a car with guy and he must think I am stupid now. Anyways I filled it up and made sure I put the dipstick back in this time.
