It's just that it's harder than all the others to tune up correctly, and it's late in the era, when emissions controls were getting stringent, which I'm guessing would have kept the power down a bit. OTOH, I had a '72 for about 10 years, and once I got its 20 year accumulation of problems fixed, it ran great. Fixing those problems took me about 3 years, but that was not the fault of the year, just random problems, many of them intermittent, due to 20 years of neglect. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
