While the FI that your car came with would probably work better than any add- on, this is probably not realistic once the old FI parts have been removed, and probably lost. Your BEST option at this point would probably be to find a nice pair of 12V type 3 OE dual Solex carbs with all the fittings and install those. What you're looking for is a '67 setup. Be sure to get ALL the parts you need, from the throttle cable, bell crank, and linkage to the air cleaner. This would be the most trouble free and well working setup you could do, once you got everything together and adjusted. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
