I recent;y had a wierd episode in my 84 Van GL, maybe it was from the Friday
13th, full moon effect-but it could be something else.  I was installing new
shocks and pads on the front, went smooove, and then went to park the van
after washing it.  Well my buddy noticed smoke coming from the van and I
peeked intot he license plate door and saw FIRE!!!!  With fast action I
opened the hatch to find my coil in flames.  Since i was washing the windows
I sprayed the flames down with a bottle of cleanre (whooooooooooooooa) and
they were quickly extinguished.  Inspecting the damage, some wire needed to
be replace (really just the terminal connectors) and the distributor wire
was melted.  How could this fire have started out of the clear blue?  I will
be replacing the coil and spark plug wire set, but could this happen again?
Who thinks its a bad coil?  Your comments are appreciated muchly.
