[Vwdiesel] GAS TO DIESEL IN AN 85 JETTA

[Gerald Hughet]

I have moved a diesel engine from a Rabbit, hooked up to a 5 speed tranny with a new clutch and pressure plate into an 85 Jetta.

Probably normal problems making this switch including but not limited to the direction of the input hose into the radiator not to mention that the upper radiator hose for diesel has that small hose branching off and going to the reservoir tank.  (Coolant system is done.)

Anyway, any one that has done a job like this could probably save me a bunch of time by letting me know how you solved the source for the electrical supply for the glow plugs, the electrical for the injection pump and any other electrical I'm not even thinking about yet.

I've removed the fuel pump and filter from the gasoline system but retained the internal fuel tank pump.  Haven't, as of yet, gotten the fuel lines spliced in for my supply and return.  

What's a good source for the plastic adjustment fittings for the headlights?

Is there any other problems I haven't even considered yet?

I'll appreciate any knowledgeable insights.
