Well here is the 411. In the spring we'll be ditching the g/f's Ford Contour ( ) and will be getting a different vehicle for her to get her license in and drive. I've been trying to get her into an air-cooled like a squareback or something like that.(she said she'd drive a Notchback so I think I'm working on her :) .
Anyways, I ran acrossed this car in the classifieds :

It is about 2/3 hrs from me so I was thinking of going to look at in the spring if he still has it and it hasn't been parted.
Here is my question. He says in the ad that "the engine needs new fuel injection trigger points". What is he talking about? From looking on the net these cars came with L-Jet fuel injection right? Does he mean the AFM? If so would a bus AFM work as long as the numbers jive? I'm sure the L-Jet parts are interchangable right?
Sorry for all the questions. I hate to see this car set and rot away. It looked to be in good shape from the pics in his last ad he had up for it. As long as it can be fixed and isn't a pile I'm sure she'd drive it. If not I'd roll it.
thanks for any help.
