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 |

Carl -
I'm not sure if the 1.8 was originally mounted any differently - so another original 1.8 owner would be able to give you better info. on yours. But mine on a 73 2L is on the tin like 914/Next - just much much dirtier! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  It's been there since I bought my 73 2L from the OO in 1975, & my mechanic was factory trained on 914s & worked on them since 1969, so he wouldn't have moved it. Seek out other 74-75 1.8 owners for the answer/confirmation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
