Drop and Swap. Should take you less than 4 hours for the whole thing. Take everything else out, ECU etc, use the 85's if you have had no problems passing smog (if you have to), and swap all the control parts one by one. Save the rest for spares. There were no significant upgrades between these two years. tim in san jose 84 1.9 WB > >My 85 van with 500 miles on a new engine was wrecked by a big wheeler and >I >have an opportunity to buy an 84 Wolfsburg for $1500.
