<x-flowed>Here is a quick update-- Saturday i went to install my new 1641 into the 68 fasty, first on the agenda was to replace the cross shaft on the tranny as this was robbed out for another car. I had purchased an aftermarket "heavy duty" one, this turned out to be junk, it didnt fit right and really pissed me off. So i headed out to a shop near by (Always VW)-[ the owner Ashley] isnt the cheapest shop in town, but i had no other option...Yep he had one , NOS he said , (yep there was the VW part tag)..Great i think here it comes....13 bucks he said...thank god! Once home it fits like a charm, Gotta love german parts. I got the motor into the car , finished removing the FI wiring, rerouted the fuel lines and realized that 1) the car had no gas 2) I dont have a gas can and 3) I dont have a Battery for the car. By this time my daily allotment of "car time" was up , As my wife soon reminded me...so almost there, but just not enough. I hope that saturday i will get to tie up all the loose ends and fire it up. --Martin M.
