>>On the '64 and '65 Square, Notch, and Type 34, were all the "1500 s" models equipped with the "high compression" dual carb 1500 engine or were there two different dual carb engines on these cars?<< There was a discussion about this on the list recently. While nearly all 1500S cars had domed pistons giving 8.5:1 compression there is evidence that VW offered an option of a 1500S without domed pistons, which lowered the compression to 7.8:1, for certain export markets. I'm pretty confident that my 65 Squareback came with this low compression option, though I've never removed the heads to confirm it. For whatever reason VW didn't document the lower compression option very well, and others on the list have doubted whether it ever really existed.
