Someone a while back posted about work on adapting a "hot" type AFM unit
for use on a Vanagon. Also there was some discussion about
re-engineering the Idle Stabilizer Control box (in front of the right
tail light)  into a solid state unit less susceptable to failure.

Anybody heard anything on either of these projects??

Thanks,
