The first thing you need to do is figure out whether this engine is really damaged inside, or does in not run for some external reason. The latter is often the case. What are its symptoms? Does the starter turn it over? The best manual is the Bentley manual: Volkswagen Official Service Manual Type 3 Fastback and Squareback 1968-1973 published by Robert Bentley, Cambridge, Mass, 1974 ISBN 0-8376-0057-X / LPV 997 383 / VSQU (excellent book, complete and well written) > so if you can help in anyway with info or if you know anybody in southern > california which is near Bakersfield ca. just north of LA that can help > I'd appreciate it. There is lots of advice available from this list, and there may be someone in your area who can help you with your car. - ******************************* 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/
