[Vwdiesel] smoke screw

[peter blake]

Will,
Thanks for the link, that tester looks exactly like the one
I'd like to build.  Not too difficult really. A hydraulic jack,
a t-fitting, a gauge and a hard line to connect the injector to.
The difficulty is mostly sourcing the correct connectors. I think
I could probably put the whole thing together for less than $50.
But I can be lazy too and maybe I'll just send a check :-]
Peter
