Scott - Any chance you've got a spare instrument cluster lying around with a
tach? Just read you've got a small collection of vans - thought I'd ask.
I'm new to this westy world - have had my '85 weekender (no swivel seats)
for less than a year and am pretty sure I got the bug. I almost bought a
second van yesterday. An '84 full camper with new tranny and clutch, but
over 200k on the 1.9. The guy wanted $3700 which seemed like a pretty good
deal, but I'm pretty sure my wife would file for a divorce if she got home
from her work trip and found another van in the driveway... So I'll guess
I'll make due with only 1 of these beauties... Got big plans for it - bigger
wheels, suby power, swivel seats, solar - you know, the usual stuff...
One question off topic - when replying to this list, what is standard
protocol - "reply-all" - seems like then the person who posted last get's
two copies - one to them and one to the list (which also goes to them)
Thanks guys
Jon
