Yes, ouch. That particular bodge is a bad one. That's one thing you'll want to fix. Putting the FI back would be hard, but you could watch for a complete OEM carb setup, which would be good. > > if you are in need of a Bentley Manual, I have a brand new > one that I will > > thanks for the offer but I have a vintage Clymers manual for > squares and fastbacks that I'll try to get by with. The Bentley is head and shoulders above the Clymer. You'll break down and buy the Bentley eventually, so the sooner you do this the more grief you'll save yourself. The Bentley isn't perfect; there are errors in it, too. The Haynes is a close second, especially for early cars and those with OEM carbs, but the Clymer isn't even in the same race. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
