the boyfriend and i have been doing lots of work on the van. we are novice vw mechanics. its just us, the bentley book, and a couple of great people helping us as we go.

we adjusted the idle, got a new battery, put a new set of points in, put a new condenser on the distributor cap. i went to the part store to get a new oil drain plug (current one is stripped from previous owners ignorance to the metric system) and on my way back home i was in 3rd, you dont need 4th in eureka springs, and the van started stalling. i put it in second to give it a little more room to climb the hill and it stalled out. ended up backing it down the hill to the side of the road and catchin a ride home.
