I have a late '82 245 LH Jetronic w/Chrysler distributor with 282K on it now. It is my main driver and has served me well over the 10 years and 200K miles I have owned it. Some parts have been a little hard to find, but I haven't gotten stuck yet. In the last few years I have replaced several items to keep it on the road. AMM (500 bucks-ouch!), control box, engine harness (still looking for an ignition harness), radiator, alternator, front and rear bushings and so forth. Since I drive 35-40K a year, I am faced with the question of rebuilding the engine sometime soon. Should I just rebuild the old B21 and hope that in the future I don't have a real problem finding critical parts for this rare bird, or go for a complete change to a B23 or B230, with all new fuel and electrical? Any input is appreciated.--Crikman
