I didn't realize that they were used so little, but the microfilm says for dual carb engines up to 1100000, which is the end of 65. I believe there were dual carb engines in 64 though, also. I never understood the point of these, unless there was some reason not to trust the float valves in the carbs, and if those were a problem, what did they do in 66 (and on all the single carb engines) that made these unnecessary. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
