RE: [T3] '70 square tuning
<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset="iso-8859-1/macintosh">You might try posting your parts on www.thesamba.com. Where are<br>you in SD? I'm in PB, and have a '65 Notchback with a (purists please pass<br>this by) a 2733 Type 4 motor w/ 911 fan. I run a Mallory distributor, but<br>had an 050 which worked just fine, I switched for better adustability. The<br>T4 dizzy drive is pretty much the same as a T1, and a T1 dizzy will fit<br>in a T4 case, & vice versa. Email me and maybe I can take a look at<br>your problem.<br><br>Splooge<br><br><b><i>Adriel Huntington Rowley <architect_7@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> It was not my rebuilder. If I touch the distributor, I can no longer go<br>back to Volker with engine trouble (like I would want to after spending over<br>$600). There was also a plate slipping I think also...<br><br>Just wondering if I went to the Classic, would I be able to get some advice<br>on how to
avoid the troubles forecasted? I was thinking of tying to sell<br>some parts. That way I could afford to go, and pay the auto's fees. (The<br>list includes a '69 Master Cylinder, rear panels with ash trays and arm<br>rests (if memory serves), a pair of doors, a pair of fenders, '72/'73 front<br>beam, almost complete A/C unit (under dash unit, condenser, compressor,<br>dryer, and brackets with hardware), and a set of Squareback glass, minus the<br>windshield. I am not sure what I should take, and what prices are now. Any<br>suggestions would be nice, including how to pay the $55 (if space is still<br>available), and how to sell the parts at the same time seeing the autos; I<br>am total green horn.)<br><br><br>Thanks,<br>Adriel H.

The assembly isn't that complicated. More <br>like he modified the Type 4 to fit, or put in a Type 4 drive, something <br>like that. Any of this is quite simple to fix, way simpler than trying <br>to cross over with the vac can, and can be done with the motor in the <br>car. So I'd like to hear a lot more about this route before I recommend <br>fooling around mixing and matching distributor parts. Start by pulling <br>the working distributor out and comparing the drive end on it with that <br>of the Type 3 distributor.<br><br>Steven Ayres, Prescott
