Subject:      There I was.... Up to my ears in heater hose...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hey Volks....

    I was putting my rear heater core back in the Wobbly Bus... got the new
hose and tees from NAPA... everything was going great...  was putting the
last hose connection onto that last tee and... SNAP!   The other end of that
hose came down out of the bottom of van and whacked my right in the nose.
This was enough to make me fairly angry.... and then I noticed the pieces of
black plastic stuck in the end.... and my world crumbled.... (time out for
beer).

    Well, I got my printout from my trusty ETKA and looked up the plastic
manifold I just broke.   Wouldn't you know it, the diagram lists 3 different
partnumbers.

        251 121 438, 438A, 438B..... 438A is supposed to be for the autmatic
tranny 2.1 vanagons....  here's my question.

    The Bus Depot only lists the 438.... will this work on my automatic
tranny Vanagon?

Thanks in advance... time for that last beer.
