Re: [DML] 3 things appeared



Toby,

Thanks for sharing your loose plug wire experience, and although this could
be the cause of Erik's problem, I believe he has indicated that his problem
is water related.

BTW: It is not necessary to remove the intake manifold to remove or replace
the distributor ignition wires.
