Subject:      1973 bus engine questions

hi everyone, ok, i have a question or two. i have a 1973 bus with a 1700 type IV engine. the books say i should have dual carbs, but i have only one (a new weber, before that it was a solex). did they make single carb 1700 engines or more likely someone switched. how did they do that?

since a few modifications seem to have been made how can i tell what type of distributor i have?

thanks for all the help, one day i'll figure all this out:) the last mechanic i took it too totaly ripped me off so no more mechanics for me if i can help it! i just need to get a clue.

take care, brandy -- \ / A. Brandy Smith (brandys@ichips.intel.com) \ / (503)264-4239 Pole:JF1-E18 \ X / Intel Corp MD6 networks \ / \ / **************************************** \/ \/ ***"EVERYTHING IS BETTER IN THE BUS!"*** 1973 CAMPER ****************************************
