I always thought it stood for Bavarian Motor Wreck. :)

(as Tom Doniphon): Pilgrim, hold it. I said you, Valance. You pick it up.

One of the greatest and least-known performances of both Wayne and Stewart!

And just as nasty as Lee Marvin was in Liberty Valance, he was a hoot in Donovan's Reef, another little-known but fun movie, and directed with his usual master's touch by John Ford.

Liberty Valance was one of my favorite movies ever. The down side was reading about the conflicts on the set and Ford's alleged poor treatment of The Duke.

I read somewhere that the scene from McLintock was the only time he used "Pilgrim" outside of Liberty Valance. May or may not be accurate, but as the journalist said, when the legend becomes fact, print the legend.  ;)

HOO-WAH!

Done, car runs like a watch and all is well.  Total elapsed time, about 7 hours...but much of that was spent learning my way around the motor.  First time I've had to work on it.  Actual time on sensor replacement, about 3-4 hours.  Total cost: $70.

Now for a shower and Miller time!

Congrats on getting that done!

Thanks.  It's one of those gotta-do-it-once jobs.  I could do it again in 2 hours or so.

Nice!
There's nothing quite like (successfully) wrenching on a car.

NIIIICE!

For those of you who may not get the reference, Dave quoted one of the key lines from Liberty Valance there.  Incredibly appropriate!
