Okay, I understand. I would think that type 3 intake runners and intake air distributor would make a really good start on this. All of them would bolt right on and fit perfectly, leaving you everything you needed to make your adaptations. The intake air distributor comes with a throttle plate which you could use, or remove, as you choose. If you used it, running the throttle cable would be simple, which is always a nice thing which some people never think of until last. You could just bolt in any of the D-Jetronic injectors, and I THINK (anyone know for sure) that the L-Jetronic injectors would fit equally well. If old rusty dirty, but perfectly functional, parts are acceptable I can sell you a set quite cheaply and I don't think they would be very heavy, so shipping might be reasonable. The worst part might be waiting for the boat to arrive, because these are bulky enough that you'd have to do surface mail to keep it economical. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
