Hi all, Now that I'm moving forward on my brake issues I've got a second question.... When I start out in my '80 Vanagon (4 speed manual) it is sometimes difficult to get power starting from a complete stop until I get going a few miles an hour and the RPMs go up some and, later, at the high end....top of third or fourth....trying to pass or gain speed at high RPM. I had some work done by a mechanic to something else and asked him to check it over....he said something was frozen in the distributor and it needed to be pulled to fix it. I was skeptical because he charged me too much for what he fixed and listed a number of other things wrong that weren't that serious but he had a big estimate to fix them. Is there a spark advance or something that should be operating that might cause my power issues? It runs fine in all gears but I don't have much ability to pass.
