I think I see your problem right there! All American Transporters
(Vanagons)
are fuel-injected, without exception. The only plave you'll find NA
Transporters are in the UK and certain other parts of Europe, so most
folks here wouldn't know them ....

Your best bet would be to try to pick up the Haynes manual, which happens
to be British. I know the NA engines are covered in this. AFAIK, they're
not
in Bentley.

I'm also a 'foreign' member of the list! 8-) There are other folks out
there who drive Transporters which may be NA (Andrew??).

I take it you're in the UK, then? If so, your best bet would be to hang
out on usenet's uk.rec.cars.vw.airooled. The guys over there are well
used to tuning dual-carb VW engines ...
