How often do you replace glow plugs? They aren't terribly expensive and they're
WAY easier to do on the older cars.
I like the older car to work on, less hoses and such cluttering up the place.
If you're cruising around town I really like the York AC compressor too, it'll
freeze you right out. My '83 might have had just a hint more power but neither
was a racehorse.

I first did that 30 years ago. They cost more than 0 250 201 039
GPs, often by a factor of 2. They don't last as long as the 0250 210
039 GPs or equivalent Beru.
Dollars equal, I'll hold out for an 81, 82, 83 If you give me a 80
or earlier, I'll take it.
