Interesting quote from the test.,
( It was also discovered that on a warm day,with the engine up to operating temperature,the car could be started with the hot wire removed from the distributor and with no spark supplied to the plugs. Cranking the engine with the throttle wide open started it with no spark whatsoever! ) How could this be?
This thread, so far...
