There WERE carbed '72s made, but none of them were sold in the US. All US type 3s from 68-73 (the end of production) were FI. It is POSSIBLE that your squareback came in from another country, but this is extremely unlikely. What is your engine number? Cases that are marked with a number starting with U or X were FI originally. None of the type 3s ever came with Weber carbs, so we know that this is a conversion of some kind. > i've gathered that FI is probably the way to go but it's difficult to > convert from a carb back to FI. you know something about this? also > i'm currently looking at a weber progressive carb b/c i'm having > difficulty finding a nice pair of 12V type 3 OE dual Solex carbs > including all the extra parts associated w/ it. if i go w/ the weber, > will i need to purchase the end pieces for installing an aftermarket > carb on a single port engine? Your 72 should have dual port heads. Whatever you have, you will need the correct manifolds to connect your heads to the carbs you end up with.These are most often sold with the carbs. Someone on this list may have a 12V dual carb Solex setup to sell from a 67. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
