Yeah, I read about this today when I was reading up on capacitors. Nasty business, man.
I can't wait to get back into this project, but I have to finish up my Pontiac project first. I just got done installing my freshly machined crankshaft into my 400 block, and let me tell you folks, Pontiac rear main seals are a pain!
Gotta finish this before it gets too cold in the garage - then it'll be time for Magnavox restoration, much more winter-friendly than car stuff
