Sell me new t-stats. That is all I'm asking for. These people dont use the cars like they did from 70-79 (everyday) where warmup was very important.
Feel free to leave the flaps in. I'm not concerned about weight, but they really dont do much unless the flaps are connected to a working T-stat (which I cant find.. doesnt mean they are not out there) The big automakers where working on emissions in the mid 60's. They knew what was coming. 68 Camaro's had smog pumps on them (coming from the gas guzzling 'mericans) I would find it very hard to beleive that VW and Porsche didnt know anything about it. Um duh.. thinking back on this more.. VW and Porsche gave you emissions specs for everything from 1967 and on. Why would they do this if they were'nt concerned? |
