You are making me jealous. That Texas 190Dc would be a lot more fun! Those are great cars to drive, so long as you don't corner too hard with nothing in the trunk. I still think you would put a 114/115 rear end (not really a subframe) under them and get much improved handling.

Waste of power to have it on the water pump. Plus the electric ones save space. Common on older diesels to boot the original fan, move the radiator aft and create space for an intercooler up front. Then put a thin electric spal behind the radiator. I never thought about owning a cdi, but hearing
