Thanks for asking. Still no spark.

Just for the sake of follow up I thought I would add this. The fuse panel was not the issue. The problem we believe is the Hall Sender pick-up inside the distributor. The piece on the inside of the wi ...

I agree with the previous post. Do you smell gas though? It could be lack of fuel or too much fuel and flooded.
The light coming on is also common with the Vanagons. I had one stop coming on after I ...

I don't know about jumping the positions but what about pulling the relay in the K spot and putting it up where you have the jumper and see what happens?

Thank you,

My son and I have been at this for a while now and getting nowhere. We have a 84 Vanagon and a 78 Dasher to verify some parts are good like the coil, battery, ICM, and wires. I have a feeling we have ...

Have you tried changing the temperature sender?

Thanks.

Does anyone think I should delete this and start it over so I can have the correct information from the beginning?

The 1990 is watercooled, the 82 is aircooled. Completely different engines and animals. It looks like the 90 has brown interior? If so this is the worst as far as withstanding wear goes. It does look ...

Drilling plastic is fine but it's a good idea to chamfer (sp) the edges to resist splitting. I made eyeglasses for 15 years and drilled plastic, polycarbonate, and glass lenses. I had a tool to smooth ...

I have an 85 VW Quantum with these on them. I don't know if they are stock rims though.

Cheers,
