Hi Peter:

        I started the Vanagon,  bled the radiator (some) and backed it 30
feet from the side of the house into the driveway.  So it's walking.  But it
isn't running yet.
There are two thin vacuum lines (one white, one lavender) that emerge from
the firewall in the engine compartment near the new location for the coil.
These vacuum lines used to be attached to the wasserboxer. What do I do with
them?  There are also two 1/4 inch brass hose barbs on the intake
manifold/throttle body just under where I attached the accelerator cable.
What are these hose barbs for?  I have not replaced the switch on my power
steering pump because I don't have the block off (not supplied). Is this OK?
I haven't done the inital timing because I figured it had to have some sort
of ignition timing done when it was "hot tested" in SA, and I wanted some
clarification on the timing mark location.  I haven't yet wired up my O2
sensor. I'm a little nervous about damaging the new wiring harness in the
course of doing the modification. Finally could you get me the telephone #
of someone near me (100 radius) who will set my CO in case I can't find a
garage that will do this?  Thank-you. I will continue to harass you by
telephone until my vanagon is running.

Regards


John Koloski


P.S.  I don't know where the bleeder valve for the coolant is in the engine
compartment, so I only bled from the radiator. The bleeder valve on the old
wasserboxer is still on the old wasserboxer. Is there a bleeder valve
somewhere on the in-line 4?  I haven't installed my stone shields yet.
