<DIV>The big problem with 70-71 FI systems is the bellows piece inside the
MPS. However, those are now being reproduced. But some of the other parts
aren't, and things get sketchy when re-using old parts. on my wife's FI T-3
Fastback, I went thru 14 used injectors, to find 4 that were good.
:O On my 70 Notch, I replaced the CHT 3 times, trying to get 1 within
the working range VW says it needs. Lack of quality of these kind of parts is
starting to creep in, and it's only going to get worse. We've all been seeing
it happen with other parts of our cars.
