standard in the UK,
I don't know what years.
there is even an obscure Haynes Manual Shop Manual........i have one.
...........showing the carb set up used in the UK.

I find it takes a lot of testing and trying this and that to get waterboxer
fuel injection and the wentire running of the engine  working really really
right,
and they do get 'off' too, fairly easily.  And not that easy for many people
or shops to really get dialed in again .........
but electronic fuel injection is vasty supieror in all ways to carburation.
btw.........I'm sure a scarb ystem designed for a Squareback Type III could
be adapted to a waterboxer.  Or maybe I'm thinking of what I saw in my
Haynes manual for the UK Vans.

also.......a Subaru engine............they hold a set up on how they run
extremely well, compared to a vanagon.
And the entire system is noticeably stronger and more accurate about 'just
everything' than the vanagon system .
On vanagons ,  I've messed with so many air flow meters...........and other
parts ....
man.  Get's tedius. And a a subaru doesn't even use a hokey mechaical air
flow meter. They use an Air Mass Meter with no moving parts, and I've never
seen a bad one either.
there are also aftermarket fuel injection systems like Megasquite - that's
just one.
But that's a whole other ball game.
But good working fuel injection..........
and the wateboxer is not a good example of a really solidly consistent fuel
injection and engine managment system.......
but good electronic fuel injection, is really great.  Like works perfectly
in all modes.
did you ask Google for 'Carburetors for VW Vanagon' ?
