Type 1 motor into Type 3
I putting a mexican type 1 motor into my notch and I have some tinware and distributor questions. I got a '72 engine as a donor for externals but it
had this style tinware(pic) under the RH cylinder and the normal deflector plate under the LH side. Which is the best to use as I don't want to pull
the heads to change the deflector plates usless I have to ?
I want to use a SVDA distributor(113 905 205 Z) from a SBug but am worried about the timing on the #3 cylinder, I have a 1600 TL distributor (113 905
205 T) but the cam is baddly worn to the point of being usless.
Will I get overheat problems on #3 with the Z distriburor?

I've pulled the heads and changed the tin(hmm never seen dished pistons in a vw before, I wonder what the C.R is on these?). Yes my donor motor had
odd tin under the cylinders, but I got a matching piece. It took a bit of tweeking to get them to fit the 8mm head studs. Now I just have to drill for
the studs and hole on the dipstick/filler tube.
I' ve got a 009 in my collection along with a scat(mallory)
