I was thinking of enrolling in an evening mechanics course to increase my knowledge with the car, has anybody done this or do you think its a waste of time?

In your particular case it might actually be a great help.
Not sure how well it would relate to a car nearly 40 years old though?

A lot of these evening courses are very basic. Like how to check your oil level. Saying that,most of these simpler courses are aimed at young ladies,to help them feel safer on a journey etc. Maybe,just maybe it might be worth enrolling on a course full of young ladies.

If the plug leads appear to be pipes and there's no distributor,you've got a GM diesel
