I have a similar issue. I am resurrecting my 83 wagon after about 5 years of neglect.
I have a bad igniter also, based on ohms on the ol multimeter, and I’m trying to determine if I do the cheapskate GM solution which hasn’t worked for me so far, or if I just bite the bullet and drop in an MSD...
I'm wondering how it'll wheel compared to the java monster. With the rear locker and crawl control, probably more capable, but limited by the ground clearance and the crappy H/T Dueler tires... Can't wait for those to wear out.
OK - I've been away a LONG time due to a bunch of shiznits going down at the ol' job-front. But things are settling down now, and I have decided to dump my DD 2008 E90 BMW M3 and just use the Java Monster as my DD from now on. ever since I got her back in 2011, I've barely driven the M3 at all...
Patrick, your narrative is priceless man... where was HENDOG when I started wheelin' also? He lives like 2 miles from me, I should take him some firewater and go see if he'll let me "borrow" the 45 SWB... ;-)
Also - If y'all are going on a bunch of crazy bat-s*** trails, I might need to ride shotgun in someone's rig. I don't have a repair budget at the current time... :-)
We are heading up late afternoon on Friday, because of school/work commitments... we will see you all Friday evening! I will have the whole family and one of the dogs in tow...
