Hmmm, so this is a Type 4 fastback. Too bad. The only car that's harder to
get your head into, to do engine maintenance and timing, is a 914. The 914
may even be easier.
Yes, Type 4 FI parts are all different, and have different part numbers, from
Type 3 FI parts.
Nice photo, but, unfortunately, that photo only shows the backside of the
pressure sensor, so I can't see the cover. It turns out that I currently have a
good '71 Type 4 AT pressure sensor up for sale on the samba. Yes, it has
the diaphram, but I'd forgotten all about that. I couldn't remember what its
orientation would be in the car, so I didn't know which way to install the
cover. Now that I've seen the photo, I can do that correctly. If anyone's
interested, here's a link to that sale.
