TadH=> even though this car was bought in => Germany, it has sealed beams, and has => the American brake lights. >It was standard practice for VW to equip grey-market cars for the country of ultimate destination. That's also why it got FI. Ok, that explains it, because the PO said that they bought it from the army person in 69-70, so it was brand new when they got it. => he swapped them out for dual carbs >Are they Solex PDSITs, or what? How do I tell? I am pretty sure they are not the standard VW parts, because they are so big. => the emergency brake barely works >Was the brake lever pulled up when you got the car? If so, it's not unlikely that the rear brakes were stuck in the drums, and in towing they wore down (the sound you mentioned). No, the brake lever was down, when I saw it, but it might have been up when the PO parked it => Putting the injection system back on is waaay => down the list >Do you have the parts? No, I don't, but after I get it running and on the road, I will look into getting the FI system.
