Yes, it's exactly how the cars were made. It will not be a problem. Close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes. > Next, is the factory wiring really as messy as it looks like?

Year of poking a prodding have usually made these into more of a rat's nest than they were originally, but they were never really very neat. > Lastly, wiring diagrams. This is driving me nuts.

IIRC, the main diagram doesn't show the FI wiring, but that is shown in the FI pages. Everything else is correct. Changes certainly may have been made by various well intensioned people over the past 34 years. > Now for the Pcture request...Does anyone have a picture showing under their > dash?

Also if you have any pictures of the fusebox area.... That's going to be hard to find, other than what's in the bentley manual. Look thru there, I think you'll find SOME of what you're after. Otherwise, you'll just have to look at the parts and the spaces and see what fits where. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
