Re: Re: pdx-biodiesel Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1

I agree with felix - you can find all sorts of enthusiasts for even AMC
Gremlins out there if you bother to look.  I'm sure there are parts
around, some may have to be used, but they're out there.  Good luck!  A
guy in our biodiesel group up here drives an old but very nice condition
toyota corolla diesel (I think it's a corolla, might be something
slightly different but small family car) and has had it for years
without incident.  My old '85 jetta was probably the most reliable car I
have had (why I sold it for a crazy vanagon, i'll never know :)

good luck!
