    How did you get into an IDI?

    I was looking for a bricknose. Had to be a stickshift. All the ones I looked at were trashed. Found mine with 59000 miles on it and it happened to be a diesel. The previous owner had written milages on the air,fuel and oil filter so I knew they had been maintaining it.

    1984 F350 - No idea what i'm doing
