Fiat's single handed effort at installing crap ignition systems in the 70's,
probably accounted more most of the sales in the 70's - that and
EasyStart...



If that was remotely true, FIAT's adoption of reliable electrics would
have all but eliminated sales of WD40. It would appear that nothing
could be further from the truth.

And as for FIAT's crap ignition systems, nothing could be worse than a
Lucas system on a 1970s British car. They have also gone, but WD40
continues to sell strongly.
