Thanks for the offer Scott.  I already have most all the DV parts.
The big question was fuel system.  And yes, 50 deg install.
Additionally, with the raised A'wagen bed, I can easily modify the
steel engine lid and keep the cross-flow head.

So there is an inline digifant system.  Hints on what vehicles used it?
