The best place to connect it is in the original location. You can use a Tee and install both the OE switch and the VDO sender, or you can buy the special VDO dual switch/sender which does both functions separately but in one package. There is usually not enough room under the air cleaner for all of this, so you'll usually need to use an elbow or find one of the OG right-angle banjo fittings that VW installed on the dual carb engines. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
