Default Oh the joys of being stupid

Thought it would be a great idea to degrease the engine on the pug, so painted all over it, then emptied an entire watering can of water over the engine to rinse it.

Spent the entire day today trying to get it to run again.

Think i finished off what were already very old HT leads.

So on order

performance HT leads
performance Plugs
Dizzy cap and rotor arm.

Still on the upside i can completley strip the engine bay out of one of these cares now, and put it back together.

OIL goes in the Engine
Water goes in the Rad/cooling system
