Mark, I figured you would have worked on lots of those. I worked on them in California when Rabbits first came out. 75 and 76 models probably. Man do they have a rats nest of vaccum hoses on that carb ! was always considered a very 'smog weak' carb I believe. perhaps non-Ca models were better. Never have seen one. if anyone is interested, I have two Bentley manuals for that model rabbit, both in very good condition, for sale. scott www.turbovans.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "mdrillock" <mdrillock@COX.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, August 04, 2008 2:02 PM Subject: Re: VW inline four-bangers
