[T3] Old Type IIIs (Exhaust Tester

I never saw it in VW publications, but there I read an instruction to adjust
the little potentiometer on the ECU of '72/'73 models to adjust the CO
level.  I don't have the manual (was it Clymer?) that gave a spec, but
memory suggests somewhere between 1-3%.

Our atmosphere contains about 2% CO and the testers are calibrated to this
value prior to test, by the way.
