Hi All,
30 years ago driving in Quantico, VA on a very damp and rainy winter night
drove through a large puddle of slush and the engine died. Water snow and
slush had shorted out the distributor and ignition wires. Got out my trusty
can of WD-40, sprayed everything and was back on the road in minutes.
Anyone know what the WD in WD-40 stands for?
Cheers,
Curt
