I'm wondering if there's a rule of thumb for whether the coil is attached to the fan shroud or the cooling tin on the four cylinder engines? My specific case is a 1974 2.0L, but I'm curious about all the engine types.
thanks! Carl |

my guess is that the fan location was for VW buses. But in the 914, it might not matter too much. That screw under the coil mounted on the fan housing might be tuff to get too.
IIRC my PO mounted on the fan. That is the bracket I had, so I did too. |
