Dorita, I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with the pre-magnum Dakota's
however it sounds like your husband is doing all the normal things in
a situation like this. I was gonna suggest the fuel filter also.
I am sending a copy of this message to the Dakota Mailing List of
which I'm a member. The DML consists of over 400 Dakota owners across
North America who communicate via e-mail. I'm sure someone can help
you out. I'd also like to invite you and your husband to join
the DML which is totally free. You can check out the DML homepage at:

Good luck on your problem.
<<DML Members:...>> when responding to this remember to send it
directly to Dorita's e-mail as she is not a DML member and does not
receive list traffic.
