Quick follow-up: On the vacuum canister arm inside the dist, there is a 4 digit number. What is it on the dist that you have. Just to clarify, all the 72 came with a vacuum advance/retard (2 hoses.) If your's doesn't, then it is either not a 72, or it was changed by someone in the past. Does your chassis number have a 2 in the 3rd digit? What's your engine number? It's stamped in the right half of the case just along the centerline, just ahead of the breather. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
