There is (was?) a parts supplier on this very list that can help, I'm sure.Gary Hurst jabbahur...@gmail.com
OTOH, try and make a crappy car now and it won't sell, thanks to the
internet and rapid dissemination of information among consumers. This has
really leveled the playing field. I would argue that 99 percent of new
cars are quite awesome in terms of reliability and technological
advancements.
Just get one from the junk yard or on ebay. Ther are several here that
look decent. Pick one being offered by a 100 percent ++ feedback seller

Lots of info on the web about how to make wine from figs.

Hopefully, nothing that might cause a big boom when you start cutting
with whatever tool.

I passed on a torch set last summer and I've been kicking myself ever since. It
was at a yard sale and cheap money but I'd have to run to the ATM and back. I
did pick up a nice torque wrench but theres not much more fun you can have with
your clothes on than cutting with a torch.

You can run it on straight used oil. Just go to MacD's and get a 5
gallon bucket from the fryer and pour it right in.

Gerry,
You may be right about this. On the other hand, if he has something that
limited and special, don't you think he'd promote it more and ask more for it?
Just doesn't seem to fit. Anyway, thanks for the history lesson. I was totally

I remember the C111 with the wankel engine, and later testing what
became the OM60x engines and turbos. They probably used it to test
the OM617 turbo right after the wankel. There was a lot of Diesel
development right after the fuel shortage of 1974
