<VV> Car Wash

Hi all...I'm just wondering if any of you experienced
this before.

Last night as I drove home from work, I ran the Monza
through the car wash, and specified the "chassis bath"
to ensure that the undercarriage was washed as well.

She purred like a kitten when I drove in, and she came
out of the car wash with a rough idle and some
hesitation at the beginning of accelerator travel.

I assumed somehow the engine got a bit wet, and of
course this has never been a problem before,
especially when the engine was hot and kept idling as
we made our way through the soap storm.

So, when I got home, I opened the engine cover, and
behold, the inside was as dry as a bone.  Not a drop
of water anywhere.  To make sure, I removed the
distributor cap.  Same thing, completely dry.  Not a
trace of water anywhere.  Wires look perfect, no
moisture at all.

Has this happened to anyone?  I know, I gotta re-check
the basics:  Plugs, timing, carb settings, vacuum. 
But it was kind of strange that it happened when going
through the car wash.  I have a Pertronix so points
don't come into play now.

When you step on the gas past the beginning of travel,
she runs nice smooth and powerful.

Thanks folks...Bill Hershkowitz
