But you say that on the '67 they used and insulator between the manifold and the carb. That may be right. My memory fails me at times. As for the difference between the T-1 and the T-3's, Jim, you need to work on a T-1 once in a while. :=) Their intake manifold has a balance port built into the intake manifold ends. There is a slot/groove in the cast ends on a T-1 dual port manifold, between the front and rear cylinders. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
