Everything else is the >same, right? TIA Carb is different too (34 PICT vs. old 30 PICT)-- a smog carb, with real finicky idle. I don't know if your 30PICT carb will bolt to the '71 Dual-port manifold. If it does, the carb throat won't line up perfectly with the manifold tube-- different diameters, at least. This can affect high-speed running. I've seen adapter plates for this, but they don't help the throat mismatch much. Also, I believe the '71 busses came with doghouse oil cooler-- not a "mandatory" mod, but it's nice to have. -Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '71 VW Transporter w/70 SP engine, overheats
