Want a fuel
injection "brain" from a 1968 VW Squareback?
Had Bosch come up with EFI
already by 1968? Every VW (and Audi & MB, etc) of that vintage that
I've seen used
CIS, which was a purely mechanical system.
Then you've never seen any VWs of
that vintage.
In 1968, ALL VW type 1 (beetle) and type 2 (bus) used a single carburetor.
The type 3 was Botch electronic fool injection (Lots of wires and senders,
and a "brain" in the left rear fender)
There was no type 4 yet.
through about 1964, the VW type 3 (squareback/ "fastback"/ and the
"rare" "notchback") had a single sidedraft Solex carb, with
single port heads.
Then they switched to to two Solex carbs ????? -2 and -3
'67 VW type 3 had the two carburetors (with dual port heads)
In 1968, the type 3 switched over to Botch electronic fool injection.
It was a 1600cc engine. It required a little tweaking to make the EFI
work with 2180 (the maximum size that that block could be readily expanded
to.)
I have seen a 1969 Audi Super 90 (wagon) that had an
aftermarket
Capacitative Discharge Ignition (CDI) System... by 1974, Audis
had those as stock, while CIS was still 1 year off...
My 1986 Audi 5000 CS Turbo Quattro uses a Motorola 6802-based
controller... very simple to upgrade, too.... ;-)
[every time somebody doubts the existence of stuff, I double the price on
it due to its obvious rarity!]
