Guys,

I haven't checked it out for sure yet, but I am pretty sure that the 
programmer is very similar to the one in current GM H-cars (Olds 88, 
Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Bonneville), so it may be possible to swap the 
solenoids from one of those.   They should be plentiful in the wrecking 
yards.

Let me know if anyone tries this.  I'll check it out myself soon.
