Subject:      FI Parts Questions

I have both a CA equipped '80 westi and a non-CA '80 Westi. I have been reviewing Skip's archives to determine the differences in the FI system. Most of the components are the same, but where there are differences, the Bosch name for a component is not the same as the Bently or Haynes name. Could someone provide a description and location of the following parts?

ECU - Exchange non-CA only (not a clue what or where this is)

Resistor Unit non-CA only (is this mounted on the LF firewall consisting of lots of white wires attached to white cylindrical objects surrounded by aluminum)

Combi-Relay different model numbers CA vs non-CA (is this the fuel pump relay mounted on the LF firewall with a square connector from the FI wiring harness and another square connector from the main wiring harness?)

Vacuum Limiter different model numbers CA vs non-CA (is this the big vacuum biscuit mounted above the engine or the deceleration valve mounted on the vertical engine tin or something else altogether)

AIr Flow Meter different model numbers CA vs non-CA (I assume that this is the Air Flow valve that is the throttle cable attaches to?)

BTW what/where are the following parts. They are the same, but I want to be educated on my FI system.

Temperature Sensor Coolant

Thermo-Time Switch (NOT the Cold Start Valve)

I am trying to move all the CA equipment from CA bus to the non-CA bus & I want to get all the right equipment, but don't want to exchange parts unecessarily.

TIA - Jeff + (2) '80 Westi's, '67 Sqbk, '64 Ford Crewcab, '87 Subaru 4WD Grass Valley, California
