Hi Skip,

        I don’t have this part or an easy source.  Where are you located? 

        Your van engine and ignition is one I actually really like.  
        Despite everything I’m a fan of a 2.2 engine with a 1.9 ignition. 

        I’m currently trying to locate spare 1.9 parts as I like the set up.  It is simple enough for me to actually sometimes fix and maintain.  

        I’m hoping that with all the engine conversions out there I’ll be able to find some good used 1.9 ignition parts.  AFM is high on my list.

Enjoy your new engine and keep reporting back.

Hope you find the idle issue soon.
