Hey Mike, I know alot of t3 guys who prefer to have an "origninal " vw but unless the FI has been kept up with the most constant extent then I would junk them if I were you. I have a 68 fasty with FI and the system was really unkept and there were same colored wires everywhere I looked. And this was factory. The wires were for the FI setup. I found it much easier (and cheaper!!!) to install dual carbs. They are more reliable, they don't need vigorous maintenence, and over-all they don't have breakable plastic/rubber parts. I mean the FI system is 30+ years old. How much would you put your faith into that? especially if you need your baby for a daily driver for work and stuff. This would just save you alot of headache. BUT if you like having FI and you want to keep it, by all means do so. By having our t3's (or any veedub) we love to have the things we want in them and we alone decide what is best for our german made autos. How we love them so. ;-D Erick --- rx4mike@ezy.net wrote: > I found a broken wire at a sensor that I think > belongs to the FI. And there > was also a vaccum line loose.
