Oh sheesh, it just occurred to me the high power side of my relay is hooked to
the output of the old glowplug fuse. I burnt one last summer when the wire
leaned on the exhaust manifold. I'd forgotten all about it.

C is EGR, J is no EGR. All you have to do is swap the intake manifold.

I have the Bulova Accutron that my father bought at a pawn shop when it was
about a year old. The substitute batteries work in this one, and it keeps
reasonably good time. I like to let paople listen to the hum ---

well 73 was a weird year for the 108 anyway because the 116 was out
then, did they have just a few 108s at the beginning of the year? I
always heard when you see a 73 108 its really just a left over 72 108.

Well, thats quite a different story, if one of those even fits properly
to install and blows up while driving, you can die. if a cheap sensor
goes out, just replace it.

i used to have a lot of accutrons. there are parts issues and not a lot of
guys who know how to work on them. i once considered investing in the
tools and working on them as a hobby, but, like so many considerations,
nothing came of it

They probabably cant own guns up there in liberal land. I actually just
aquired 10 more guns yesterday. I have 6 riffles and/or shotguns leaned
up against my bedroom wall next to my bed while I figure out a place to
store them because I have an overflow of guns.

if htey are easy to replace, i'm all for cheap sensors. i think bosch
prices are seriously ridiculous. what does an EZL for a 126 cost? like
2500 bucks? makes sense to just keep getting 50 buck knockoffs till
somethig works

There are three failure modes for the CC -- bad amplifier, bad
actuator, and bad speed sensor in the cluster. Typically a bad
actuator takes out the amplifier due to excessive current, but the
normal failure is either the Hall effect pickup speed sensor quits
working (cracks) or the
