While surfing around today, I found the following page: http://infoweb.magi.com/~cvolvo/Repair/B28F.html
Looks like it may be of some help to anyone who needs to replace the water pump.
I am actually looking to find out if the B28F was ever used in any Volkswagen cars. I am told it was, but have not found out for sure what it was used in, and when.... if at all.
With all of the information I have found on the PRV-6, seems like no one has anything good to say about them, including the B28F version. Oh well :(

Well, Silly me, I thought I wasn't affected by the recent conversations regarding insurance, especially since I have had the same agent/insurance carrier for 15 years covering my 5 cars (and a boat or travel trailer).
ISSUE: I purchased $400 for an annual "Collector-car" coverage with $50 deductible for both comp/collision. Which required 2500 miles or less a year, every driver must have 10 years experience, car must be stored in house garage.
PROBLEM: I get a letter from the underwriter dept of State Farm that says they will only honor the original agreement for 30 days, that my comp and collision deductible will become $1000 / 20%. I immediately called my agent who was very apologetic, but couldn't resolve.
REMARK: When getting insurance make sure the underwriter is contacted by the agent BEFORE you buy the car and GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Be aware of this 20% added LOSS. For example, for math purposes say my car (81 5-speed #2839 - 5,037 miles) is appraised for $26,000 and was unfortunately stolen. My agent said this is the most likely "total loss".
Then my check from State Farm will ONLY be $20,000 on a $26,000 car. (while they have been collecting premiums on the higher value).
I was told this would continue even when I convert it to regular insurance to allow my two son to drive it.
$26,000 <$1,000> = $25,000 <25000x20% or $5,000> = $20,000.
QUESTION: Anyone out there who has REGULAR insurance with a lower deductible please contact me directly.

Sifting through Yahoo's auction item i found 3 Chrome plated models of the Back to the Future DeLoreans at http://auctions.yahoo.com/auction/9497095. They are exactly the same as the models produced by Ertl a few years back but how they became crome plated, I have No idea. The seller says they are NOT put together.
Just thought someone here might be interested.

DML'rs Yahoo.com has a "Cars of the Century" section where they list there ideas and people can post their opinions and stuff. On Yahoo's list is the 1966 GTO w/ proper recognition given to JZD. Below are the links and the actual text of the main article for those who can't "surf" the web.

-------------------------------------------------------------- (main article about the GTO) http://autos.yahoo.com/auto/cotc/gto.html ---------
1966-67 Pontiac GTO John Z. DeLorean started the muscle car craze when he shoved a large engine under the hood of a mid-size Lemans and called it a GTO option. Winding his way around corporate red tape, DeLorean succeeded in side-stepping the company's policy against offering mid-sized cars with the high-performance engines. Sales were hard to ignore, however, and in 1966 the GTO was listed as a separate series.
Even though the 1964 Tempest Lemans GTO started it all, the good looks of the newly designed 1966-67 models kept the GTO muscle on the right track. The three-box styling was now gone in favor of nicely sculptured body sides along with an intense and aggressive look to the front end. Engine choices included the 389cid/335-horsepower V8, as well as a 400cid/360-horse available in 1967. No wonder front license plates on GTOs always say, "GRRRR."

erik if you call one of the delorean vendors they may be able to recommend a shop that they do biz with. grady in n.y. ships all over the country to small shops. if no one will touch the transmission you may have to find someone to remove it and then ship to a delorean shop for repair.it is simple to r/r the trans, will it's out do the clutch and possibly the slave cyl, definetly do the hose if it hasn't been upgraded to the steel btaided>

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Pulling in to traffic yesterday, I stomped on the gas. A 1/2 mile or so later I saw smoke coming from the engine compartment. I quickly pulled over, grabbed the fire extinguisher, and opened the cover. The smoke was comming from the passenger side exhaust area. I looked under the car and saw a oil slick on the frame behind the turbo. I figured I busted the oil line to the turbo.
After closer inspection, I saw the oil was driping from the air filter housing! (See http://remus.rutgers.edu/~mxl/dmc/Ser6-08.JPG to get an idea of what I am talking about)
It seems that with the turbos under full boost, the stock air box is too restrictive, and caused enuff vaccum to pull oil in through the PCV tube. I removed the air box, and filter. There was a oil slick on the filter where the PCV port is.
I guess I never realy put much thought in to it, but I always assumed that the PCV tube hooked to the air box was to suck the gasses out of the crankcase. But then I got to thinking, where does the air come in to the crankcase?
I did a quick search on the net and found a good page that explains in detail the PCV system (in general, not DMC specific) at http://www.njautosite.com/garage/encyclop/ency08b.html
Based on that page, it would seem that the tube attached to the air box is where the air gets sucked in to the crank case. That kind of makes sense now, because the vaccum would need to come from someplace beyond the throttle plates. So, where does this vaccum come from? There is no PCV valve, so I guess it uses some other method to acheive the desired results. If the vaccum is taken from some place beyond the throttle plates, then when I go in to boost the crankcase will then become pressurized and in theory help push the oil out in to the air box!
I guess I should also take a look at the hose routing diagram, but I did not have time to do that yesterday. Either way, anyone have a good explination on how the system work in the De Lorean, and where the vital parts are?
Thanks, Marc

Well, as for a cheery rebuttal, all I can give is this story. When my fuel pump went out, I was at the end of the reach of my technical knowhow (which is about as far as replacing a fuse or two) so I called a place here in town that is well known for working on foreign cars. I told him that I had a fuel problem, and then told him what kind of car it was. His first reaction worried me, he said "let me transfer you to the owner". When I told him my problem, he was just like, "ok, let me make you an appointment." Not only did he fix that, he gave the car a good once over for me and recommended some stuff that I do to it. Not stuff that he could do but things I could do. How many mechanics would do that?

Crutchfield is a well known online/mail order stereo company that deals in just about any form of stereo, be it home or car. Although I can't argue with the fact they are very good, I also have to say that a DeLorean is not anywhere in their database (at least not in the woman's I talked to) so I would say you would probably have to pull the radio first to get it's dimensions. They can be found at http://www.crutchfield.com

Hello everyone! I was wondering if there's someone out there who has a quality mastertape of the DeLorean Commercial "Live the Dream!". As far as I know there are two versions - one short and one slightly longer. (The short one is the same as the Internet-download commercial)
I do have a copy of both these commercials but the quality is poor. Can someone please make quality copies of a mastertape. Does anyone on this list have the mastertape in their possession? Im sure everyone on this list would be interested in obtaining a quality copy. What ad-company made this commercial anyway? Maybe they still have it in their archive?
TIP FOR THE DELOREAN OWNERS ASSOCIATION: GET HOLD OF THIS COMMERCIAL.
ANOTHER TIP FOR THE DELOREAN OWNERS ASSOCIATION: GET THE RIGHTS TO PRODUCE AND SELL THE 1981 DOCUMENTARY ON THE DELOREAN - MADE BY REKNOWN FILMMAKERS CHRIS HEGEDUS AND PENNEBAKER.
Best wishes Stian Birkeland NORWAY

My a/c stops after it has been running on high for a period. Doesn't seem to do this at any other time except when run at full blast.
Could this be caused by an under charged system?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
My husband owns a DeLeorean, and I work for Allstate (in Texas). The questions regarding insurance have been brought to my attention, so I wanted to make a few comments. First of all, insurance varies by state as each state is regulated by its own Board of Insurance. In Texas, cars that have been involved in a loss (whether it be an accident, total loss or what have you), are paid out on an "actual cash value" basis -- that is the value of the car at the time of the loss. I suggest that all owners of "special/classic, etc" cars maintain pictures, all maintanence records and anything else that could be valueable when it comes to an insurance claim. Insurance companies do maintain "unacceptable vehicle" lists of which most have DeLoreans on them. When a person wants to insure one of these vehicles they normally pay a higher premium, there are exceptions -- if there are no under age drivers in the household, no claims/tickets/accidents in the last 39 months and how long a person has been insured by that particular company. We have our auto and home insurance through Allstate and have had these policies for 2 1/2 years. On our auto policy we have 2 1998 Mustangs and my husbands 1982 DeLorean. We have a $200 Comp/Collision deductible and pay $324/6 months for the D. -- hope this helps!
any questions can be e-mailed directly to Police6627(AT)aol.com -- attn. ANGIE

Fellow DMCer's, As posted the other day the new Alan Parsons album (The Time Machine) does have a Delorean on it (in the wings up position). It is a small photo but clearly a Delorean. Looks to be a European model as the lic on the front is white with black lettering. Hard to read but looks like DGS 803X. If the owner is lurking out there, how about the "rest of the story". Martin G. this maybe one of your mates (as album was recorded in England). Also if anyone with better eyes can read it clearer, please post the number. (a sure sign I'm getting older). For a look at the cover ( I bought one, as I like Alan Parsons) go to http://www.interlog.com/~avenue. Click on the new album link and see it for yourself. Bruce Battles Vin 06569

I bought new trunk struts from one of the distributors recommended by this list (on this list). With the new trunk struts does a person still have to lift the trunk lid for the first two feet to get to started on its way up or did I get a bad set of struts?
I'm getting the D ready for my wife to drive and I don't think she can pull the trunk handle and lift the trunk lid at the same time.

hello all, i seem to have a problem w/ my radio antenna. it is the rear type. it has worked fine over the past 1 1/2 years or so that i have had the car (now with 8300 miles). it just stopped working and i found that the inline fuse, going to the relay, just died. i thought that the mast was dirty or in need of lube, so i cleaned it and put some light lube on it. i then replaced the fuse and it seemed to work fine. tonite, on my way home, it didnt come up when i turned on the radio. anyone have any advise???

It appears from your picture that someone installed that relay to activate the field portion of the alternator. There is a much simpler way to accomplish this. Go ahead and install the unit, if it works OK than leave it alone, if not, let us know so that we can tell you what to do.

When you say the AC quits do you mean the interior blower shuts down or does the compressor stop cycling ?

The PRV-6 is best known for its application in all Volvo 1980-1985 260/760 GLE series cars, there were no Volkswagen applications. Contrary to what you have heard, the B-28F (late series) and B-280 are one of the most durable import engines ever built. Our D, #3370, has over 260K trouble free miles and my personal 90 Volvo (B-280) has over 150K miles.
Concerning the web-site that you refereed to, the individual who published this information says he is a mechanic yet he said it took him 3 days to do a 5 hour procedure.

This is an easy question to answer, go to D:06:02 of your Workshop Manual for an explanation on how the "closed crankcase system" works.
