What I was talking about here was JUST the right angle ends. The OE right angle ends screw onto the wire and can be reused indefinitely. The new ones you got are a single use item and not nearly as nice. I have some good used ends, but I want TWICE as much for a set of 5 as you probably paid for your complete modern SP wire set. BTW, if you get a wire set with just straight (not right angle) ends the wires will wear against the underside of your engine lid. The end result will be twofold: You'll wear thru the insulation under the lid, and the wire insulation will eventually wear thru and short out. Early type 3s had shorter distributors, however, and could get away with this. Somebody confirm this for me: Is it true that some carbed type 3s still came with the right angle connectors even though the dist was shorter? Or did they all come that way? Or did none of them come that way? If only some got these, when did it start? -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
