I drove my ragtop to work yesterday in a (for So Cal) horrendous rainstorm. When I got home I discovered water, not a whole lot, maybe a cup, in the car. Now, I would not be surprised to find it on my side since I probably tracked some in, but there was also abot acups worthonthepassenger side,...

Ignition coil. by Tony Wilkinson
Hi, I have just bought a new 12volt coil and when I came to fit it, it struck me that the paint might interfere with the current flow on the HT circuit. Do I need to remove some of the paint under the clamp? Or is the HT high enough to jump through the paint? Cheers, Tony.

Got a gas heater by jjs
What strange critter these gas heaters are. Where does a person find a new sparker for them? Mine is there, but it's a little loose and wanders left and right about a few millimeters.

Floor Pan Replacement, Part 3 by Ervin Charles
Okay, The frame is under the chassis and the pans are in place. Do I drill holes and spot weld the pans to the tunnel or just weld at the edge of the pans? Does it matter? And do I paint the joint before or after I put body/seam sealer on the joint? Thanks, you guys have been a ton of help! Charles

Additional notes on electrolytic rust removal by Bob Hoover
Clean the thing first. Yeah, I know... it's a mess. But the odds are it's an oily, greasy mess. And there may still be some paint under all that rust. Electrolysis does not work on grease. Nor paint. You'll end up removing the rust from all around the greasy or painted part... which may be...
