Hello all,
  I had great day today. As you may have heard I was having trouble with my 85
Vanagon running poorly. irst it would not pass Wa. state emissions test and
then it started running very poor, loosing power and shuddering. I played with
it a little, but did not fix it. I got a call from Robert Keezer this morning
and he came to visit. After talking for a little while we started poking around
the Vanagon. We swaped and unplugged this and that one at a time and the
problem was still there. So I pulled a set of plug wires and cap from my stash
(Bug or Bus wires)and swaped them on. The trouble stopped right away, the
engine runs great and I bet it will pass now. I am amaized at how well this Van
runs with 175K on it.
  While Robert was there we also talked more about my future conversion to a
Jetta/Golf engine. I still need to get my hands on a Diesel oil pan and pick up
tube. (anyone?) It is always fun to talk to someone that is as crazy as you are
:). It is also great to have someone to bounce ideas off of, thanks Robert!
  So I am gearing up for a season of fun and adventure in my new Westy. Spring
meet will be my first outing in the Van, this will help to figure out what I
need to do for up coming trips, Puyallup is very close to my house so it makes
it nice.
  Thanks everyone for all your helpful sugestions, see you at the Puyallup.
