The Ford Barn

I owned a Model A Coupe over 50 + years ago and about 30 + years ago reverted back to the "dark-side" after inheriting my Gramps' 1924 TT C-cab - so, I'm helping a friend who's new to the old car hobby and bought a '29 P/U for his wife to sport around in - nice A BUT has a couple issues I'm attempting to resolve - here's the question: I'm having the distributor rebuilt so whilst removing the armored ignition cable clamp from that particular stud near the distributor, I removed the stud nut, which was tight but not frozen when coolant began to puddle around that stud - WTH ! Any guidance from you folks on possible causes ?
