The best source for both information and products for protecting vinyl, rubber, etc is at: http://www.carcareonline.com/ They compare different products, tell what they do or don't like about them, what products to avoid, and why (like Armor All). After reading and reviewing this site, I decided on a list of products and spent a LOT of time driving around to find them locally. I shoulda bought them from Car Care, prices in line with local shops. So far in using them on my '87 non-VW, they work great in cleaning old vinyl, and the protectants leave a nice finish that doesn't attract dust like some did (when I was foolish psÊo use AA). On to other subjects: VW coils have a resistor built in. From personal experience, if some slacker puts in a coil without an internal resistor, it WILL burn out your points in about 200 miles, and that will be the beginning of many weird seemingly unconnected symptoms. If in doubt, replace the coil with a good one from a VW knowledgable shop. I checked the fuel tank sender on my '67 and found no copper thingy. I'm the second owner, and have never messed with sender. Had it since '78 when it had 98K on it, everything appears to be original and untouched on the fuel tank.
