A paper towel stopped my car from running
 

When our '28 coupe failed to start today I removed the distributor cap and found a small piece of paper towel, about the size of my little finger nail. Then I found four smaller pieces, one on each of the contacts inside the distributor body, just enough to insulate them from the rotor when it passed.:eek: NO MORE paper towels to wipe out the distributor body and cap, only clean, dry cloth rags.:o

Ah HUH!

That sounds like a lawsuit to me. I bet the directions on the quicker picker upper bag did not say "not for use on distributor cleanup".:D

Next time my wife restocks the pantry with them I'll be sure to check the package label to see.
