Thanks for all the help with the problems with my 87. It turned out that I
had swapped #1 and #2 plug wires during the course of troubleshooting (doh).
I did get a good look at the motor and did a lot of preventive maintenance.
I will be replacing the computer temperature sensor near the thermostat
housing since I'm having some cold and hot start problems. I hope this fixes
the original no-start problem.
Again, thanks all of you for your help.

One other thing, there was a thread about replacing the rear speakers in a
Westfalia. How do you get to the rear of the speakers? Which panel has to
come out?
