You still have one of the original as I do from the original ones and there are a lot of cars with original parts depending on how they are cared for are still using the original angle drives, fuel pumps and other parts that have since been replaced. That's good, hang onto it.

It is still working perfectly, and I do not expect to change it any time soon. If the design has been improved since 2004 than that is a boon to the DeLorean community. But as far as I am concerned the 2004 design (with a grease fitting) was just fine.

John, in case you haven't noticed I am moderating this week. Technically these hearsay stories are violations of DML policy but my instinct told me to let you slide this time. As we all know, "I know a guy who . . ." stories are impossible to verify or refute. If you want these stories to be taken seriously, then the people who experienced them should post the stories themselves and sign their names to their words. - Mike Substelny VIN 01280 Very satisfied with my DMC Houston angle drive. ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
