Here's where we are at now.  The van is running better than it was.  I have
the vacuum unit off the new used distributor on my old one and 3 rebuilt
injectors. I have the timing maybe a degree or two BTDC and that is as far
as I can turn the distributer for now. Since I don't HAVE to turn it any
more (and some will say don't) there is definitely no reason to let anyone
pull the distributer gears and reset them a tooth at this very moment. There
is nothing I HAVE to do right now so after I replace the 1 faulty new
injector I am going to sit back and see how it runs for awhile.

I really appreciate everyone's help and patients with this.

And the lesson I learned in the last few days is that "rebuilt" fuel
injectors are essentially the injectors the last guy sent in as cores
because his failed and the "rebuild" shop blasts some carb cleaner through
them, cleans them up and puts a new gasket on.  Anyway, for the new injector
I ordered I ordered a brand new one. I'm not paying to have another bad one
put off and put back on again.

As for seeing another Vanagon around here. Hmmmm, lets take a look to see
what's available. Here we go:

are from the West Coast do not view these disturbing East Coast images) At
least the tires and brown captain's chairs are worth the price of
admission.....

Thanks
