Phil,
        You're getting to be too much. I mean there's more to tell than
just a joke. Stop joking around and start helping people, alright! C'mon
Phil, when was the last time you helped anyone? Huh?  ;-) ;-)
	Seriously, if the distributer/coil is covered in plastic, he/it will be
fine. I've done it plenty of times without anything, and no way in hell
am I lucky enough to beat those odds every time. So even w/o plastic,
the engine will start, and if it doesn't, then wait. Or think ahead and
bring wire dryer in a can!
        HTH!
