I haven't been able to start my van since the North East has been underwater.

I finally got it started with some help from the list and some dry towels.  It
seems that there was some moisture in the distributor cap.  I wiped it out
once and it didn't want to start.  Out of frustration and some encouragment
from the list I went out and wiped it again.  Started right up with a good
wipe down.  I guess I'll be calling ROn at Bus Depot for a new kit.  I think
he has the whole package for 29.00.  This list has been nothing but great help
since I got my Westy.  THANKS!!!!!!!!

Dave
