Barney - Have you looked at a 79B manual lately??? Simple cars, yes up to
1967. Some may say even up to '69 or to '74. But emission strangulation is
a huge ugly thing on a 79B. I'd suggest that your A, and my A and B are all
easy to work on, but Debora has a much bigger headache. Look in a parts
book - emissions on a B up to '67 was a PCV valve, and hoses - (moss items
2-9). A '79 is a much different story (moss items 12-70 or so).
