- Likewise, a rare one, for me anyway: My '69 Squareback just quit the other
- morning. The points had shut all the way down due to the hold down screw
- loosening up enough to let them float closed. Adjusted the points and I was
- on my way. Of course I had IMMEDIATELY assumed something in the fuel injection
- and had been furiously cleaning connector contacts etc. Ha ha now, piss off at
- the time (25F outside...).
