By the end of The Sound of Music, when the Nazi soldiers leave the abbey, their cars will not start, because nuns stole some engine parts.

What is the engine part they stole?



Best Answer

The distributor cap.

It was a commonplace trick at the time to disable a vehicle by removing the rotor arm from the distributor, but this small part would be harder to show on film.

The distributor cap is simple to unclip and remove - taking just seconds. It is also a clearly recognisable part.
