I agree, but the microfilm shows that the single carb engines were 1500s right up to the end. The microfilm is much less help on the nameplate issues, such as what was a 1600A. I haven't tried to work it all out, but I think figuring out whether all the late swing axle cars, after 68, were single carbs would be very difficult. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
