Just wanted to thank the many list members who provided advice regarding the backfiring problem in the '82 Vanagon motor that I was putting in a '76 Bus. Special thanks, too, to Bus Boys, who called me on a Sunday, when they were closed(!), to offer some suggestions, even though they had nothing financially to gain from it. Problem ended up being that before I received the '82 motor, someone had removed the distributor, turned the motor, and put the distributor back in. I had not expected this, because there would have been no reason to remove the distributor while pulling the motor, and the previous owner said that he had not done so. Nevertheless, somebody did... It never ceases to amaze me how many helpful, and knowledgable, people there are here! -Ron Salmon
