Keep in mind this particular engine is the mechanical version. Not a whole lot to it. As I have it understood most people who buy the electronic injection version usually swap it back to mechanical.

Reason: My dad always had them so inherently I learned while he taught. I Needed a challenge on something that’s been talked to death & That hadn’t been done on a VX. Plus my dad has Alzheimer’s and he doesn’t remember much, but when he hears a diesel grumbling he gets excited.
I hope your dad hangs in there. Sounds like they are coming up with some better medications these days...if it's not already too late. Fingers crossed!

I'm curious what controls the injection on a manual setup? Seems I remember an episode of Wheeler Dealers that dealt with manual injection...maybe on a Mercedes? Or BMW? I'm pretty sure Edd had to rebuild/fix it though I can't quite remember how it worked. I'll probably remember in my sleep! LOL
