- Back maybe 10 years agi, we had this in my wife's 1974 Oldsmobile
- Delta 88... It was giving us problems due to a broken contact there
- also.
-
- Finally, a fellow driving a pickup truck stopped behind us when
- we were unable to start, listened in for like 5 seconds, immediately
- went for the hood, took off the coil connector (which was broken and
- made intermediate contact), told us the address of the nearest
- parts store, part name/number and price, and went on his way.
-
- He was right. The car was fine after that.
