    Barry,

    Really? I'd love to find out more history, but you got to find your car first. They even look alike now. Mine was registered to Edward Tinsley at one time and got "rebodied" in '94.

    Colorado or Canyon 5 cyl

    I'm thinking about tow vehicles that I can stand as a daily driver. The 5 cylinder Chev/GMC Colorado/Canyon look promising. Has anyone had experience towing with them?

    I use one from fuelports on the fuel distributor of my Scirocco. I keep the sample hose tie wrapped to the cage inside the car. If you want, I can send you a photo of the installation.

    Valve spring compressor

    I need a valve spring compressor for a VW 8 valve head. I have a Hastings "C" clamp style one, can I get an adapter for OHC springs? Or should I just buy a cheap new one on ebay?
