So it's definitely the road draft tube. Not a big deal, it's just un-clipped. Thanks for the rundown Mr. Pushbutton. I'm on the right track for everything mentioned it's just that I've been going off of intuition rather than tested knowledge of folks like yourself. Electrical is pretty well sorted now. I have a tuneup kit on the way for the other incidentals in that area. About to order the fuel pump kit and have the water pump rebuilt. One thing that concerns me, or maybe I shouldn't be concerned with it depending on how some of you guys feel about it, is that the guy I bought off of had replaced the fuel tank with a very clean and new looking VW fuel tank and it fits the space very well. Is it OK to keep that on for a while as long as it is of good condition and fits or are there some problems with doing that which I'm unaware of? I have to take a deep breath when I see the cost of the real deal replacement tanks. I also noticed that the distributor does have some wobble in it... how large of an operation are we talking about for a fix like that?
