Oh well, I was just lacking in sense of humor for a minute :) In any case, I've got a Bentley and a "How to restore your 914" on order (I'm installing a 1.7) and a Haynes on hand. If anyone knows of any reliable websites for Type4 conversions, etc. please chime in. Thanks to all for suggestions and comments.

Woops! The original person used the word "lacking" in the least-commonly-used sense. Per, who I presume is not a native speaker of English, responded in a manner which indicated that he was parsing the word "lacking" according to one of its more frequently-used definitions. (He was commenting on what the *Bentley* was lacking, which is not what the original poster had meant.) I saw the confusion, and made a quick post w/ the reference. Perhaps I should have responded just to Per with an explanation of the nearly-idiomatic usage. Perhaps I'm the one who's lacking...
