Yes, but the solenoid connection was only there in 72 and the last month of 71. These are the cars where you can miswire the starter and make the FI run rich. This is mentioned in the Bentley manual, although they don't mention that the late 71s are also affected. My box does allow me to run the starter and start the car, but only on those 13 months of production. Within that production window, it IS useful for setting the dwell. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
