RE: [T3] Wolfsburg letter

[James MacNaughton <JMac@uglyduckling.com>]

Now Obi-Wan, take it easy on the poor boy.  When I first cracked the engine
compartment on my square and saw those tubes and wires, I actually cried out
in dismay.  Then, I learned from the masters the benefits of fuel injection.
I will not now stray, but perhaps we need to be gentler with this one...

	I did the swap on a '71 Square, using Weber ICT-34 dual carbs.
Hard?  Uh, not too much, except that getting the linkage adjusted right took
a lot of back-and-forthing and experimentation and the forcing down of
several beers.  Once all was dialed in, they (the carbs, not the beers) have
been trouble free.  You can buy carburetors, but as for the beers, you can
only rent them...if you catch my meaning.

	Don't know what "kit" you have found, but I know the Webers came
complete with all the &A”, air filters, etc.  That is absolutely
essential  in this project.

	You have to figure out what to do with all those left-over wires
that will be lying around in the engine compartment.

	And you will NEVER be able to face real T3 afficionados again after
they learn you have --- gasp! -- carbs!

	You have heard of the Dark Side?  Well, going to carbs will put you
in the Scarlet Letter category.  

	I welcome you to the Tomb of the Undead...
