years ago(teen) I purchased a volvo 122 sedan from a junk yard for 25 dollars,mostly because I needed a front quarter panel, and he would not part the car out, said 25 takes it all.

Got home, checked under the hood, everything looked in place, cranked with a batt, but no fire. Removed the distributer cap, and the roter spun freely.

There was a small pin that held the head of the rotor affixed to the distributer shaft, that had sheared.

14 cents later at the hardware store, and she fired right up.Drove it around for a couple years and sold it for 600 dollars.
