By 67 this was a 0 231 137 015, so either someone's made a mistake, or Aust type 3s got different dists (or there were running changes in production.) '66 type 3s got the same vac adv can (the -204) as I mentioned above. So these should be interchangable. BTW, I looked at the 204 I have here and it has 204 in VERY small numbers on the bottom only. They are smaller than "normal," closer to the vac can than "normal," and easily overlooked. I missed them entirely when I first looked at it, and mine was NOS and clean. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
