If you can't find one, I will send you my spare to try. I'm coming around to this conclusion, too. My 73 has had a number of unexplained problems over the years, and even as I have found and corrected various problems, there remains a single failure mode that I have not been able to pin down. This may be my problem, too, so I may be trying a substitute cyl head sensor as a check come spring. It should not be hard to find this part. Borrow Pat's if you just want to do a test, or I have one I can sell. I'll try to send you the VW and Bosch part #s tonight, when I get home to my part's lists. I've had very little trouble with these over the years, except for 68-9 when it is mounted under the #4 exhaust port. Is yours still in this early location? The problem I've seen there is that the wire must be bent sharply as it comes out of the sensor body. On my 68, it eventually shorted to ground there and that stopped the engine cold. I try to use later heads when I rebuild these engines, so I can put this sensor in the 70-3 position, up next to the #4 spark plug.
