Jerry and NTFDAY,

Thanks for your comments. The Flamethrower coil is mounted vertically but that 1929 style firewall is pretty full and by now I could probably change that coil blindfolded! I grew up near Valley Forge Pa. and there is a local story about Count von Steuben drilling the Continentals who would always ask "Why?" when given an order which would produce a stream of German profanity by the Count. Scientists have a reason to ask why but maybe Americans tend that way naturally?

I can understand why scientists and others would ask "why" especially if the response was in reference to something that either wasn't fully or properly explained. Asking "why" is a normal response at least to most of the folks in my generation though in my opinion many in this latest generation have been dumbed down to the point that they blindly follow the rest of the sheep.
