I don't have the parts list in front of me, but we could go by the fact the last type 3 dists used in the US were the AG, maybe. That puts the total over 30, plus some models probably used type 1 dists, which makes the total even larger. I don't have any way of figuring out what the characteristics of the P or S dists were, but '69 FI type 3s used just one dist for both AT or MT. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
