Seeking the wisdom of the list again. I am lacking a manual at this time but
just sprung for the Bentley yesterday. In my engine compartment on the
drivers side there is a (aftermarket brand) 2"x4" do-hickey that has cooling
fins on it. about 4-5 wires come out of it and have been cut and are
disconnected. Sorry but I can't remember the brand name. What is this?

BTW my van is not parked at my house and its hard to get time to work on it.
Also it is a salvage yard special that was (is) not running. I am restoring
it in hope that it will serve me well. We bought a 95 camper in July and I
fell in live with the VW campers. However my wife drives it and have learned
that it is a costly SOB to keep maintained. I wanted something simpler in
design, cheaper, and more ground clearance for Kayaking and Hiking jaunts.
