They are most likely to be in things where the type 3 engine differs from the type 1, like the correct position of the distributor drive gear. Instead of worrying about where the problems arise, I suggest you just get a more reliable book. Here are three that I recommend. Volkswagen Official Service Manual, Type 3 Fastback and Squareback 1968-1973 published by Robert Bentley, Cambridge, Mass, 1974 ISBN 0-8376-0057-X / LPV 997 383 / VSQU (excellent book, complete and well written) How To Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot by John Muir published by John Muir Publications, Santa Fe, N.M. 1979 ISBN 0-912528-16-8 (a fun book that is entertaining and enjoyable) or for good, no BS, down to earth high performance hints How to Hotrod Volkswagen Engines by Bill Fisher published by H. P. Books, Tucson, AZ, 1970 (excellent book, well written and researched) ----- My query is: I never see anyone mention the Henry Elfrink, Volkswagen Type 3 Technical Manual. Is he on the "outs" with everyone in T3 land? Un-useful info? Too obscure? I'm a bit of a newbie trying to figure out what others think of his book. Thanks for the input.
