Nice to hear from you Jason. We miss you over on the Type 3 email
list, where I tend to spend most of my time.

That,d be an interesting yarn on how to fit an FI system back onto the
Squareback. Is it the original Bosch system as in the fastbacks ( in
Australia FI was only ever fitted to the Fastback TLE) or a FI system as
fitted to Mexican Beetles?. After you,ve driven FI cars you realise what a
compromise carby induction is, even the twin PDSIT,s..
My TLE started hot or cold, gave 38 mpg on a trip, idled smoothly, no flat
spots. Admittedly it cracked heads due to I suspect running too lean but you
cant have it all eh?. Fixed it after a while by disconnecting temp sensor
which made computer think engine was cold, ran a bit richer. Always had it
in the back of my mind to go back to FI but Mrs always seems to have other
priorities--- like eating

The injection i would be putting in is the Same as the fastback, and i
believe here in the US The squareback had fuel injection too. The
injection i am to be putting back in is from the square, a PO just
previously ripped it out. The only snag i have run into right now is
that the wiring harness looks like he went on a wire cutting
frenzy.... so i may have to go find a new harness somewhere or make my
own.. i much rather just buy another one though. Hey Jim, Got a Spare
harness for a 70?

The FI for squares and fastys are the same in the same year. For your
'70 you need parts from any 70 or 71 that came with the same tranny,
MT or AT, as yours.

I probably have a decent used '70 FI harness, but they're not cheap.
It's worthwhile to repair yours, but you need to do it carefully. No
fair just twisting the wires together and covering it with Scotch
tape. ;-p

we'll tell you that runescape money you were born in Britain's last Asian colony in the lunar year of the pig and that when we brought you home, the staff of our apartment block gathered to wish you well. We Chinese runescape gold love boys. One man said you were the first baby to be born in the block in the year of the pig. This, he told us, was good Feng Shui, in runescape power leveling other words a positiveRunescape Gold sign for the building and everyone who lived there.
