The FI engines used one of those holes for something else, and I have seen pictures of the coil on the right, too. The latter makes no sense to me since that side is already pretty crowded. I suspect that the left tin mounting would work well with the single carbs, but I don't know for a fact that this was ever done. If it wasn't done, you gotta wonder why VW kept those weld nuts in place all those years. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
