I THINK they will all interchange mechanically. I'm sure that all the single vac can units will interchange, and I'm pretty sure that a single vac can will fit in place of a dual vac can, but it's POSSIBLE that a dual vac can might not fit in place of a single vac can. ISTR that the dual vac can dists have a slightly different cutout for the can mounting. There may also be a slight difference in the bolt pattern, but that can be overcome by filing the hole in the can mounting flange. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
