Car was running rough so I thought I'd look at the carburetor as if I knew what I was doing and I noticed the vacuum line to the brake booster was loose. After I tightened that the car ran great. I went for a test drive then got brave enough to fill the tank. All was going good so I thought lets go to the store to get some flowers for my wife for Valentines day before the flowers get too expensive. While parking the car disater struck. As I turned off the engine I saw smoke coming from the dashboard. The car won't start now. The engine turns over but no spark. I called AAA, I am definitely getting my moneys worth from them.
Tomorrow I am getting under the dash to find out why. But first. Anyone have an idea what could have smoked under the dash to not let the car start up?
