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.
