Very very simple kit. Essentially when you flick the switch in the cab the gasoline pump turns off and the natural gas regulator introduces natural gas upstream of the air flow sensor. The mixture of NG and air then gets sucked into the cylinders and ignition takes place. There is compensation for load via a small computer that attaches to the NG regulator. This computer gets signals from the distributor and somehow know the load state from that. -- David Marshall Email: david@volkswagen.org -- -- 78 1.8L VW Rabbit, 80 2.0L VW Caddy, 87 Audi 5KQ -- -- 85 VW Cabrio, 88 VW Syncro Double Cab Transporter -- -- Volkswagen Homepage http://www.volkswagen.org -- -- VW Caddy Homepage http://www.volkswagen.org/caddy -- -- USE DAVID@VOLKSWAGEN.ORG WHEN SENDIGN EMAIL --
