If you can get all the FI parts, you might want to just consider this. The FI works really well once you get it all in there and working right. > The real question, will I be able to find a complete '67?

You'll have to keep asking on this list, and perhaps on the aircooled VW newsgroup. Be sure to mention where you are located. Yes, you may have a long wait. Remind us again what you have and why you want a new engine. Remember to include the year of your car, what you want, and where you are located in every message that you send back to the list (not just to me.) - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe </x-charset>
