VW changed them over the years, and for best results you should match your engine displacement, number of intake ports on your heads, distributor, and carbs.  For a downgrade from FI, you'd have a 1600 dual port, obviously.  The correct 32 PDSIT carbs can be identified by a stamping on the outside of the fuel bowl (on the flat surface, opposite the choke, not in the same area as the "32 PDSIT" markings themselves).  The ones you'd be looking for are marked VW98-1 and VW99-1.  The distributor you'd want to use with them is 311 905 205G.
