You've come to the right place for FI info. FI is stock on a 1970. I have the same thing. It sat for 2 months and I fired it up this weekend on the first crank! I love it after I learned to understand it. When we first bought it I was replacing it with dual carbs until I found this list. They talked me out of it. So enjoy! I have some pictures of some of the FI components I replaced. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rich & Nicole (Daughter), Orange County, CA 70/71 SquareBack 1600 FI MT http://community.webshots.com/user/schlegelr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Russell [mailto:dynamico@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 9:27 PM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: [T3] New family member [Waking up an old square] Hey everyone, We picked up a 70 Squareback today for pretty cheap. It is pretty complete, but it has been sitting (I think) since 92, based on the tabs. Our goal for this car, over the next year, will be making it ready for the trip to the invasion. Because it has been sitting so long, I know that the fuel and brake systems need to be gone through, and that will lead me into the engine. The guy I bought it from said that he was told "it ran when it was parked." It has a FI engine, is this normal, or stock for a 70 square? This will be my first experience with an FI engine, so any advice or recommendations, things to keep in mind, would be greatly appreciated. I will certainly be calling on the list for help and keep you updated on my progress. Thanks, Matthew ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
