Dual carb engines came with just a paper gasket between the head and the manifold, and an insulator between the manifold and the throttle body. I agree that the metal gaskets were a type 1 part only. OTOH, I've never understood why VW did it differently for the 2 types. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
