Thanks for all the responses -- sounds like the manual cars are out there if you search hard enough. I still have some work to do on this new-to-me car before I daydream too much about engine swaps... and the headlight replacement comment reminds me of another newbie question: my headlight wiper washers don't squirt. I read someone on this board saying that they tend to clog. What's the fix?

Thanks again,
Steve
