CIS-L mixture adjustment w/ dwell meter? (no Bentley w/ me)



Note that in your link the test connector is shown on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
On Rabbits it's on that side, on MK II Sciroccos it's by the brake booster.
I suppose on a MK I it could be either place.
Just a heads up.
You'll like the bigger cam. The engine will actually pull past 6000 RPM! ;^)
