I need to borrow an adapter to go in to the injector holes to blow some air in to see if the overflow tank starts bubbling

Getrag/205 shouldn't cost that much. I found a combo for $700 with driveshafts but thought it was too expensive.

That's a darn good deal IMO. Most guys are getting about that for just a 29 spline NP205.

Ha...and you don't know what you're getting until you use it and/or open it up and rebuild it. A good-working $2000 setup would sure beat the crap out of a loose $700 setup, IMO.

a good 205 is worth 700 and if the gutbag is good your looking at a easy 800 for that also Heck I sold my 5 sp set up installed for 4000 plus I kept his auto stuff but this was also Nice stuff

Well $700 divided by two is $350 each. They are worth more than that for cores.
