The '69 T3 fastback which I own was previously owned by a good mechanic. He replaced the engine and automatic trans. with a good automatic and (newer) 1600 engine. However, he ditched the fuel injection for a Holley carb. I would've prefered the FI, but it runs very well. Q: In my previous VW, a T1, there was a full tin surrounding engine. However, in my fastback, I can see asphalt when I lift the lid to my engine. Should there be a tin around it? Also, the old oil fill port no longer contects to anything. Was the original engine much differtent? I can't see how the oil fill port would have ever connected to the engine. I have the Haynes book, but doesn't help much in this case. -- Dan Hirth '69 Fastback Raleigh, North Carolina dhirth@mms.net
