Wal-Mart sells most of the bulbs our cars use. Don't put the 5w bulbs in the cluster though, it will melt the plastic.

Put about 2 gallons of biodiesel in the barrels and roll them around, that will clean out pretty much anything.

The filter housing uses 5 bolts and a gasket. Those with leaks often fix them simply by tightening the bolts using a 5mm allen key.

That would be possible. My dash is badly cracked so I didn't think much of making another cut.

I don't know where the best spot would be. Maybe on the carpeted center console kick panel?

The pump must be continuously running. The Vacuum Control Valve on the injection pump is a controlled leak and is always leaking, more so with heavier throttle usage.

Yes. The non-turbo 300d pump may be too, but I wouldn't bet on it.

The non-turbo 61x engines are shaft driven, the turbo 617 is chain driven, there is no way to make it work.

Its easy, but not legal to install an engine older than the vehicle's year of manufacture. If you were to use a 603, that would be different.
