[Fot] Got a problem with the race car, need advice

[Bill Babcock]

Definitely the other way around. Most fuel problem wind up to be ignition. I
once worked for a mechanic who kept track of the troubleshooting he did,
literally wrote it down in a notebook. Wore lab coats to work--pressed--pain
in the ass guy, but I learned a few things from him. He showed me once that
the huge majority of the problems with a misfire he worked on were caused by
ignition.
