Thanks  I would like to have one but haven't found an affordable one that was all there lol I actually looked at one about a month ago it was on a olds engine and it could not be bought plus I just couldn't bring myself to separate the setup then cut it up to make it fit the caddy however I was able to see all the internals and it wouldn't be hard to build one I just don't have time
