i am screwed

lol, I can believe it, that sounds like something I'd do!

hmmm..... IF the engine hasn't been turned (or was it running?), you *might*
be able to snake a magnet in there to snag it. Otherwise, try removing the
starter and see if you can get it that way....

i'm screwed i guess in less anyone can help me solve this one.  I was
putting in a new distributor tonight, and i got it put on no problems.  I
adjusted the timing with the light and all that.  and then disaster strikes.
As I was tightening down the bolt on the backside (closest to driver) of the
distributor, my socket pops off my shitty craftsmen ratchet and falls right
in the damn timing hole.  So i'm fuct.  This could only happen to me.  It
was a 10mm deep socket with a 3/8M to 1/4F adater, So it had to fall at the
perfect angle to get in the hole. damn.

I'm guessing i have to unbolt the tranny from the engine to get it out?
Maybe i should start shopping for a 4k...

damn damn damn
