Someone a while back posted about work on adapting a "hot" type AFM unit for use on a Vanagon. Also there was some discussion about re-engineering the Idle Stabilizer Control box (in front of the right tail light) into a solid state unit less susceptable to failure. Anybody heard anything on either of these projects?? Thanks, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver.
