I think you need to take a repair manual and go step by step in making
fine adjustments, adjust the valves, clean your distributor top to
bottom, make shure you've got the right plugs, wires, distributor cap,
spark plug insulators, check for vacume leaks, check for proper enine to
body grounds.

Look for little inconsistencies, I was missing the spring under the
distributor and it caused erratic idel and misfire. Corrected it worked
great.

If you check your injectors, make up a jumper wire TEN FEET LONG and a
fuel hose TEN FEET LONG and perform this test well away from your engine
compartment (I had a fire by trying it in the engine compartment).

I have had very good service out of an 83 Aircooled. It is not uncommon
to put 10,000 miles on it without opening the engine compartment.
