My equivalents list gives the Type 3 clutch cable conduit as the same as
Beetles to '71.  I don't know if that's the shhorter or longer one, but I
guess the suppliers would.  Type 3 Part number is 311 721 361, if that
helps.

Thanks to Bobsnotch for pointing out my missing cable sheath.  Would anyone
have a spare to measure?  Seems the Type 1 replacements are 600 or 610 mm.

Tighten the mount screw on the FI relay under the back seat, if necessary
clean off any corrosion around it.

 My daily driver '68 Squareback with MT and FI has recently developed an
erratic no start condition. Car will start and run fine for days/weeks.
Ran errand this AM.  Car started fine drove for about 20 mins. Stopped for
15-20 mins and restarted fine and went home. After 20-30 mins tried to start
car but turned key, heard relays but fuel pump did not prime. Checked relay,
fuses and elect connections at pump.  All appeared OK but pump would not
run. Waited 30 mins while working on options, tried again, pumped primed OK
and I drove to work.  I do not think I really "fixed" anything .
This sequence has happened 3 times in last 5-6 weeks.  I live in Sunnyvale,
CA so heat/humidity is not a problem.  This has happened at 9:00 PM when it
was cool.  Any suggestions?

Next time it starts, runs and drives fine find a place to pull off the road
and start playing with the wiring harness in the engine compartment.  With
the engine running wiggle the wires around the large ECU "plug."  Wiggle all
pieces of the harness, including the wire that goes through the bulkhead for
the pump.  You might find a bad wire or connection that causes the engine to
stop/start.  That's how I once found a bad wire in my harness that caused
symptoms similar to yours.

I took this good advise and found the problem to be the connection of wires
#24 and #16 where they come out of the ECU and plug into the dual black (in
my case) connector. I installed a new FI harness built by one of the guys on
The Samba lists and the female spade plugs are a bit big for this connector
and needed to be pushed in more forcefully.  Anyway car has been starting
everytime since then.  Thanks for all the other suggestions, I'm keeping
them for future reference.
