In that regard, my '84 Quantum TD measures up to my '87 4kq. Maybe I 
just got a good Quantum!

The guy I got the Quantum from said he used to have a QSW and was 
planning to swap a 5-cyl Audi diesel into it, but it started looking 
like too ambitious a project.

According to a QSW website I once viewed (don't have the URL now), 
there's an interesting anomaly in the figures for new Quantums 
registered in the US: In 1989 or '90, the last 3 leftover new Quantums 
were registered. (Year and # of cars from memory, take with however 
much salt you think is appropriate.)

I understand that the rear suspensions arms on the QSW are shared with 
no other car--if you have one, don't smack a curb with a rear wheel!
