Especially between '71, and '72. If the one you are transplanting to is AT, you will need the AT air intake distributor. The AT air intake distributor has an extra vacuum port that goes to the modulator on the tranny. It also has a mount for the transmission kick down switch. and a spring loaded override for this switch atr full throttle. If the donor is automatic and the recipient is manual, then don't worry about the air intake distributor, just plug the vacuum fitting and go for it. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
