[T3] Starting engine over hall

[Dennis Stiefel]

Well at least for my 72 as Jim said extra ventilation port into the top of
the rocker box and one head has a place for the temperature sensor.

Whats the difference in F.I. heads and normally aspirated heads? I have a
type 3 engine as a spare for my rail buggy and just wondered what to look
for. Sorry for such a stupid question,but I saw it come from a sedan and had
a hit and miss problem with the no. 1 injector so we changed to a
2bbl.webber set up.

Just got through dropping off the crank case and heads off at a VW shop
about 50 miles from here.  Wasn't to encouraged on what he said.  He said he
didn't know for sure till he got everything cleaned up good but the spark
holes in both of the heads look like they have cracks around them. It's been
so long since I have worked with air cooled VWs I forgot that's a bad thing.
But still waiting on the final answer on that.  If the news is bad then I
will be on a hunt for a pair of FI heads.  Afraid to ask how big a deal that
will be. I got the usual speech I get from most VW folks around here (you
sure you want to go with FI you know they don't make a lot of the parts for
them any more). Any way maybe the case is salvageable.  Sorry to be a downer
it's just this is the closest I have been to getting it going in decades and
just hope I don't hit to many more big road blocks.  On a more positive
 note
I will post an update on my video log on this here soon.
