RE: [DML] Re: Delorean Owner

David, I have been rebuilding DeLorean and Porsche fuel systems for 10+
years. I thought you would know that by now. 
The people your trying to send to Volvo houses don't have the parts and in
most cases can't get them unless they buy them from a builder like me.
Most don't have anyone around that works on them anymore.

One option would be to try a Volvo dealer. The mechanics used to work on
Volvos that had K-Jet and some of the older techs will remember how and have
the tools. While it is true that at the time Deloreans had mechanical fuel
injection and most other cars did not, many imported cars did and so did
some Corvettes. Even Jetronics did not last all that much longer, eventually
morphing into Motronics which is a more electronically controlled engine
system. Your point is well taken, as technology is obsoleted it becomes
harder and harder to maintain and service it. That is true in all cases. How
many people are left in the world that can adjust the doors on a Delorean
and are experienced at it and can do it well?
