There are 4 parts that are different between the 72 and 73 FI 
systems: distributor, brain, IAD, and pressure sensor. The brain and 
pressure sensor have the same VW number for both years, but the Bosch 
number is different. The cold start valve temp switch may also be 
different, but that's irrelevant unless we're talking about winter 
starting.

If I understand correctly, you have a '72 car that probably has most 
or all of the important '72 FI parts. If this is the case, and since 
your '72 vacuum can is working, you'd be working yourself into a hole 
by starting to swap random '73 parts in there rather than fixing the 
real problem.

Is your mech advance working?
