Hi guys , little bit of a novice with this stuff but im very eager to learn, i have ordered a few books from amazon.com to care and look after the vw.

If you take a look at a few of my pictures on the following link

And can you guys let me know if this will fit without a problem.

Im assuming my engine is a type 3 single port from what i have read , so i assume the weber will fit.

this is what im looking at,

and if you can recommend some other mods to suit then please let me know.

you would need it for a type 1 dual port engine not type 3 single port :tu:

thanks pod , so my engine is a type 1 dual port ?

yes dual port
See the cast end pieces to your manifold where it joins the head.

there is an inlet port to each cylinder
Single ports are the earlier style that have one inlet per pair of cylinders
