Re: [T3] Trying to get the car started questions

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I am trying to get the car started and running utilizing the parts I have on
hand.  My total aircooled VW experience and parts base rests in the milk
crates that came with the car.  Once I know the engine isn't toast, I'll go
back and take care of things such as a proper distributor (especially since
I'll need one with the F.I. contacts.)

I'll pull the rocker cover off today to assure I'm my timing is correct.
