To test the vac can, just remove the dist cap, connect a small hose 
to one of the vac can ports and suck on the hose. If the hose holds 
vacuum and if you can see the connecting rod move in the distributor, 
that half of the can is okay. Repeat on the other port.

The manual you need is this one:

Volkswagen Official Service Manual
Type 3 Fastback and Squareback 1968-1973
published by Robert Bentley, Cambridge, Mass, 1974
ISBN 0-8376-0057-X / LPV 997 383 / VSQU
(excellent book, complete and well written)

This is still in print, but the wiring diagrams are no longer in 
color. Good early copies sometimes come up on ebay.

Yes, you NEED this manual.
