Yea... it took ALOT of tiny wire ;-) Let me rephrase that... I grounded the CASE with a wire... I noticed that as soon as I loosened the clamp bolt the car died and I couldnt time it. It would also cut out completely at times while driving. The ground wire solved that. But then a couple years later it started missing at low RPM, intermittantly. I sold it and the buyer found that the shaft bearings were shot. It had over 180K on it though! Keith > > Ya know...

That's quite a trick.... ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
