What's the dumbest thing you've ever done putting your car back together?

When I first got my car I thought " swapping point for a Pertronix looks easy". I spend a month trying to get it to work. Finally in desperation the coupe was towed to VSR where they quickly determined it was a defective Pertronix!

The other was an act of omission. After keeping a spare alternator in the trunk for 20 years, I decided that I needed the space for cleaning supplied for the LOTA in Hilton Head. After the concours, can you guess what part died?

The radiator?
Else, do I get two more guesses?
