I know that my car was originally purchased from Demas Volkswagen in Scottsdale, AZ. When I took possession of it many years ago it had a DVDA distributor on it. Can anyone confirm that this is the correct distributor for my car? The bentley does not specify, and I've seen lots of pictures in the bentley of an SVDA.
In addition, I installed a brand new 34pict-3 tonight. It started up immediately but was running EXTREMELY rich. I finally got the idle dialed in, it sits at 900rpm without any trouble and takes off and returns to idle fine(a nice change of pace from the old klunker carb I had on there).
If I take off and hit maybe 1/4 throttle, it's fine. If I stand on it, say at 2000 rpm in 2nd, it feels like it is loading up for a few seconds and then it seems to recover. I think I may have hooked up a vacuum line wrong. Since I have the DVDA distributor, I have set the timing at 5 deg ATDC, the front of the advance canister is hooked to the port on the right side of the carburetor, and the retard connection on the back of the canister is hooked to a fairly large port on the front of the carburetor. Assuming I have the right distributor, is this the correct way to hook up the vaccum lines? Bentley doesn't have any diagrams of this stuff. Go figure. Any advice would be appreciated.
