 You know....(here he goes again) I've worried and hounded and pounded a
fleet of vanagons (and buses too!) ranging from a 1952 panel van to a 91
standard..I've had turbo diesels, syncros and air cooled, FI converted 72's
and dual carbed 69 crew cabs and I NEVER had as much trouble with all of them
as some of you seem to anticipate with just one...I keep track of fuel
mileage and I change the oil and filters (and brake fluid too!) in a timely
fashion (sometimes early 'cause the filters are on sale!)
basically, you're slaying me with this stuff....Yep I've used a multimeter to
check the O2 sensor, and like that, but to fully instument a car with the
idea that you need to keep track of this stuff? I dunno, why not got back to
the Model T advance lever on the steering column if you want to mess with
stuff when you drive?....
I'm not pokeing fun, I'm just missing something, I guess....
