Whatever happened with the guy who was never going to change his oil again?

I don't frequent this forum much anymore because I sold my 300D and got a truck (and sold it...). Before I left, though, I remember seeing a thread about a guy who believed that oil changes were not...

Anyone ever heard of Frantz/Motorguard bypass oil filters?

I read some interesting information about 'Frantz' filters, which have apparently been around since the 30s, which use- get this- a roll of toilet paper as a filter element. Now, the initial reaction...

Yeah, I listed it for $3000 not expecting any serious interest, but hey, it sold for a good amount. Interior was fair, the MB Tex was a bit worn, but the seats had been repadded by a PO. PO also had...

Sold the 300D.

Sold my 300D tonight. Got a good price for it, but I was still sad to see it go. I'm getting a diesel truck instead.

You've got a high resistance short somewhere, that drain is way too high. That'll suck a battery dry in short order. It'll probably be a bear to track down, but I'd start at the grounding strap to...

Question:

Which are the correct vacuum lines to the EGR and ARV that would shut it down if somehow a BB got lodged in there? I have an 84 300D.
