That doesn't tell you anything for sure about anything other than where the CASE was first used. The engine you have could be a perfectly good "1972" engine rebuilt with a replacement case from an earlier engine, or it could be a transplanted 1970 engine with a few parts swapped to make it work in your '72. It's also possible that it's the complete 1970 engine with parts swapped into the engine compartment to make the whole system a 1970. How many terminals are on the throttle valve switch? 70-1 had 4 while 72-3 had 5. '72 is the only year where the distributor has both vacuum advance and vacuum retard. (Two vacuum hoses to the distributor.) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Shameless link for search engines: http://listarchive.type3.org ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
