    Does look like it will eliminate the water connections along with some of the maze of vacuum lines that seem to be somewhat of a major headache with these applications. Should be able to pick up a choke cable from any FLAPS in your area. I talked to Rodriguez about 5 or 6 years ago when I was in Manila about some VW parts that his outfit stocked and he does seem to be a straight and honest person.

    For any of those with a question - FLAPS = Friendly Local Auto Parts Store.

    What would I do about the vac lines?

    Rodriguez is the person with those carbs for sale, also a lot of other parts. The business is in Rizal, Manila, Philippines. I lived in Rizal for awhile about 5 years ago.

    Without seeing your unit, I would think you could just loop the water connection from where it feeds to the carb back to where the other water line originates, thus ensuring there would be flow, if necessary, thusly bypassing the carb entirely. As far as the vacuum lines - you need only feed vacuum to the dist vacuum advance unit and another vacuum circuit to feed the 4WD system and possibly a circuit to use for emission control units(charcoal cannister & such). Make a blockoff plate to sandwich where the EGR unit mounts to eliminate the need for that vacuum circuit. EGR systems were introduced back in the days when all the manufacturers were trying to meet emission standards in any way they could and the EGR is of questionable value for that purpose. Some of the vacuum lines are from one part of the carb to another part to ensure the speed control when the choke is operating and with this carb using a manual choke and its included speed control ramp, you can simplify accordingly.You may have to provide a vacuum circuit to control an air door if there is a warm air system in place on the air cleaner housing. Actually the only thing the warm air door does is promote a slightly faster warm-up during cold weather and a bit better driveability when cold so a lot of them are wired permanently closed off anyway so they only admit cold air.

    Hmm so 2 ports or 3 would be good?
    What about the dist does it need to be a port before or after the butterfly?
    The canister could come off the manifold?

    Vacuum for the charcoal may or may not need to be constant, some systems were to be bleeding vapors only when off idle so that would have to be ported at the butterfly other vehicles used constant vacuum controlled by some other part of the system. I have always preferred the port for the advance unit to come from directly at the butterfly. It looks like it has a fuel-cut solenoid to prevent dieseling which would need to be wired to ignition. Looks like it also has a vacuum actuated speed kicker, possibly to be used when the vehicle has AC installed.

    Since you know them could you ask if they would have any installation instructions or anything?

    Rizal is about 450 Kilometers or about 280 miles from where I am and on the Island of Luzon while I am on Panay Island. I don't really know him, have just talked to him about some VW parts as I was dealing with VWs at that point in time. I would suggest that if you scroll down to the lower part of his listing, you will find a blue 'click to ask a question' area and ask him. 108 for the unit + 35 for S&H for a new carb sounds like a good thing to me.

    I have asked and all they said was that was the only carb they have for that motor!
