The black plastic cap identifies it as the 72-3 style, but until you find some part numbers, there is no way to know if it is even a VW part. This system was also used by Mercedes, Volvo, Saab, Peugeot, even Toyota (but only in Japan) .... Look at the unit. It has 2 halves held together by 4 screws. The part # should be stamped into the aluminum on the larger half on one of the circular surfaces near the split. It may be up under the mounting plate. That surface should just look like a smooth die casting; or does yours look like someone sandblasted it, or took a file to it? > E style (2 nipple) distributor You could use this with the D brain if you leave the vacuum retard disconnected and time it like a 71. > E style 5 pin TVS Only good with the 72-3 FI. You also obviously have the 72-3 FI wiring harness, so this will keep you from installing the 4-pin TVS. I'd say that getting an E brain would be your best option. You will need to figure out the part # for the late PS that you have and if you're lucky it will be the one you need. I probably have any parts you need. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
