Subject:Golf engine conversion runs

You all may remember that I was converting my 82 Diesel to a Golf GT
engine.  Well it finally ran today, loud as s%^&t because it doesn't have
an exhaust yet, but it ran.  If anybody is interested I found a way to
mount the Cis-e fuel distributer on the driver's side and feeds the intake
manifold by a short 90 degree hose.  Also allows for the use of an
inexpensive cylindrical shaped airfilter about 6" in dia. and 5" long, cost
me $7 at Advance Autoparts.  The airbox I constructed to do this  is just a
prototype made of aluminum sheet.  If everything works out well, I'm
thinking of molding the entire thing of fiberglass, which will cut down on
the number of parts and allow me to optimize the fit somemore.  I'll try to
get some photos available if anybody's interested.
