>What year is the car? Is the fan correct on it? Is it an automatic or >manual transmission? well, the car is 72. The engine I'm not sure. I thought that's what the number would tell you. The transmission is manual. >This distributor has a total advance of probably 36 degrees. Fine for a >type 4 motor but it will destroy a 1600. If it has a dual vacuum canister >(two hose connections), and the VW # is 021-905-205S, you should get a >different distributor. It only has vacuum advance (1 hose), I've been told about the advance before. I have to get a timing light. How can you tell when the distributor isn't advancing well? >run up the motor till the distributor stops advancing How do you know when it stops advancing? BTW I'm forwarding all this stuff to the link because I haven't been able to find anything about dual carbs in the archive, and I think it's important for people like us to have some sort of reference. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
