[Spridgets] So, how hard does one whack it?

[Robert Duquette]

Thanks.  I do own a points file.

You're way ahead of me though.  I'm in the midst of winter preparations ( when
I should be finished ).  Since I had no idea how much energy to put into the
temporary cure (rapping it) that I've heard of so often, I was curious to
know. Driving it on and off the lift would have been easier than pushing it.
:)

Another extra task that I got added to my list:
I opened the engine compartment of the Fiat and found a pail full of pine
cones stuffed into every crevice.  It took me about a half of an hour to dig
them out.  :(. Hopefully all wires are intact.
