Just a small note of correction here. My '82 Vanagon Westfalia Diesel was
delivered with a DZ transmission and a 5.86 R&P final drive ratio. Its still
in there happily spinning with 1.8L 8V Digifant motor. The combination of
insulation and sound system seriously eliminates engine noise. My daughter
thinks I'm going deaf. Howeverr, I'm sure I measure 1.5 inches higher
manifold vacuuum at 80 mph on the 210 freeway (LA) with Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik bei Mozart, and the Westfalia is positively dangerous with Verdi
or Beethoven.
