Subject:      84 and 85 engine differences?
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

I have an 85 (per vin #) and the plug wires and distributor use the
old-style connectors (old as shown in Bentley).
I am assuming that they may have been used because they were cheaper or
available
instead of the new ones, and I am wondering what the difference is other
than the connectors.

I also considered the possibility that the engine is
an 84..is there an easy way to tell? The coil is new-style, and the
center wire connector to the distributor is micy-moused to fit it.

I just read at oldvolkshome that the 85 uses cap 03 212  is this new or
old
style?
