Hi Pete,
EARLY 1971 MODEL ENGINE AD 0,342,876 twin port 1600

made between 1st August 1970 and 31st july 1971
[which is the VW model year..]

AD 0,000,001 TO AD 0,360,022 so looks like it was made in early 1971..

cheers

LEE

PS: 68 engine would be single port H0 series..
My 1968 H0 series engine

There's that multi coloured engine AGAIN.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.
