These were used on all 68-9 dual carb ATs. I don't know why there are 2 numbers listed here I suspect that the X means a rebuilt engine. If the X looks like it was just added to the tail end of another block, then this block is from 63. I think that's unlikely, however. There was probably a separate numbering system for factory rebuilds. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
