Been there, done that, from 1968 til 1979 when I left VW. I did most of the FI work in the dealerships. One of the first things we checked for when one came in with FI complaints, was the plug wires, and found a lot of cheap solid wires causing problems. BTW, it is illegal by FCC law, to run a vehicle, on public roads, without radio suppression plug wires. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
