I have been cleaning and priming parts for my 261 project.Yesterday, i decided was a good day to paint some of the parts. I can't seem to find my inspection cover that mounts to the bellhousing.I looked for 2 1/2 hours,no clue or trace of it.I Know when i'm not looking for it,it will turn up.

Have a wrench (or any other tool) in hand. Should I lay it down in front of me, merely turn a little right or left, then right back to where I was the working, the wrench (or tool) is no longer to be found.
Keep in mind I didn't walk away, didn't even move feet, just merely turned my head for a moment and the tool gremlin had taken my tool from me.
And occasionally I may never see that tool again.

Another quality post.
