[T3] Looking for data sheets

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

Just so everyone see what I am working with, here is a link to an image of the calibration tool:
I set an L-Jet predefined in as an example.

AFAIK, the bias resistor was added in series to shift the calibration a bit leaner. This was done under warrantee for owners who complained that their gas mileage was not as good as VW claimed when they sold them the cars.

When I bought my '68, VW claimed 27 or 28 mi/gal, but one of the mechanics told me that this was at 55 mi/hr with no wind. I don't think I ever got mileage that good, but I seldom drove that slowly. 
In those days, highway speed limits were all at least 65 mi/hr. The
55 mi/hr limits didn't come in until the gas crisis of '73-4.
