And, heck, now that I think about it, I am still using the oil catch pan that I got for my 18th birthday... perhaps I should be concerned...
Or maybe it is time to treat yourself to a new one?
Nah, it’s pretty awesome. It’s very low and wide. Got it to slide under my Dodge Dart after I lowered it in high school. It’s great for under motorcycles too!

I actually meant capacitor, not coil. It looked fine and checked out on my multi meter, but the contacts were a bit dirty. Yanked it, brushed the wire connector tabs and it fired right up.
But to Nacho’s point, I ordered a backup. For less than twenty bucks, it’s cheap insurance.

1. Capacitor swollen or leaking? --> change capacitor
2. Capacitor not swollen or leaking? --> change capacitor
You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
