With regard to recent posts about stumbling, about a year ago my air-cooled vanagon (1980) would stumble and miss while going up even minor grades. New fuel filter and spark plug wires made all the difference in the world. Extra: Last summer I bought several boxloads of National Geographic going back to 1980 (this was definitely an impulse buy). While reading through them I saw an ad from Dodge comparing their van to a Vanagon (Dec 1981 issue). I have posted this ad at www.geocities.com/MotorCity/7409/dodgevan.jpg for anybody interested. If any body collects these sort of things I'm sure I have several issues with this ad in it, want to trade for something equally inane? eric.henning@bailey.com 1980 westy 70k miles |
