Not a major nitpick, but a major irritation, mainly because I can't resolve it, it just doesn't make any sense.
If you're making a chick a 'grease monkey' why show us an engine with a Weber 8-pack and HEI ignition then have her comment on the sweet 'high rise double pumper' and surmise that the problem was a 'loose distributor.'
It's just BEYOND lazy, it's like taking extra effort to be totally wrong after all the effort of putting together an engine that you could make plenty of cool observations about.
"OK, I want production to give me a rocking engine that the girl is going to show her mad skillz by diagnosing, but I'm a writer, not a DAMN mechanic, so don't tell me anything about what you produce, I'll just write some buzzwords and nobody'll notice how up my own ass I am.'
