Neighbor had a mint 63 Impala it was his wife's pride and joy.
Shortly after installing a fresh built engine at an idle there was a faint knock coming from it.
After checking everything he could think of he pulled the engine and took it back to the machine shop that built it.
They went right through it, he put it back in and same knock.
Changed the fuel pump and knock was gone.
Bought a mid 80's Ford 1-ton dirt cheap as the seller said the engine was seized.
Started to take it apart, tried to bar over the engine to get to the converter bolts, one way and it would not budge, tried the other way and it moved followed by klink noise.

A customer that I did maintenance for on a fleet of tow trucks called the shop one day and asked me to order in a starter for his truck, he was super busy that day and the starter on his was crapping out and just barely got his engine started.
A few hours later he pulled up at the shop door and honked his horn, we opened the door and he drove onto the hoist, swapped out the starter, he hopped in and turned the key, click, click, click I asked him if he wanted us to check his battery and charging system.
A few foul words from him later and he was on his way with a new battery (and starter).
Another customer paid to have his F 150 towed to the shop from 2 hours away when it arrived I showed him how to reset the inertia switch on his truck, he had backed up to a loading dock and set it off.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
