Re: Heater Core Shut Off Valve Xref

Drive a mile to and from work. Nothing in my little border town is
more than a mile from anything else. Probably produce less pollution
all year than a big city commuter stuck in traffic for one week.

I do not like onboard computers. Have seen them put drivers walking
too many times. Only electronics I want are in radio (and ignition --
breakerless indeed whoops points).

Note that my replacement engine came without Lamda. Has no plumbing
for it. ECU and O2 sensor were left over from original block. Made no
sense to leave in car.

Idle speed circuit went mad on me. Actually think may have been one
reason PO sold car. Manual circuit got me home. As far as I'm
concerned proved its worth.

Is actually more familiar to old head like me. I like adjusting
screws. Very similar to idle circuit on a carburetor. Is good thing
CIS so reliable, otherwise I'd be figuring out way to mount a square
bore on my air sensor plate!

BTW: I *STILL* need a used Bosch plug wire for home made replacement.
Anyone...
