I agree totally with Mr. Fye on the FI. I had a 1776 in my old '71 squareback that ran at a constant 185-195¼F here in Phoenix. The engine was stock except for the 90.5 cylinders, Dellorto 40mm carbs, extractor exhaust with dual quiet packs and one of those old CB performance in-sump filters. (Well I guess it wasn't too stock, but not too crazy either) The car had excellent power for daily driving, and for trips to the mountains of Flagstaff and Sedona. It also saw many trips to SoCal with no problems across the deserts. As beat-up as the body was on that car, it drove great. I miss that car! :( Yancy Everhart 66 Squareback 63 343 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
