Speaking of them five bangers, I saw one in the pick yer part yard on Trade
Zone in North San Jose Sunday afternoon. Audi I thinks. I am not interested in
that swap  (try getting that one by the smoggers in California by yerself) so
I didn't look to closely. It did seem to be all there and I did count the
spark plugs.
Besides that, the pickins were pretty slim for vanagoners. 

On another note, is it possible to pull the tach out of a Scirocco or Fancy
rabbit/golf and install in place of the clock in the 84 wasserbox?
I seem to remember a flexible circuit  board on the back of the dash panel in
the only scirocco I ever workrd on (an 82) that had a voltage regulator that
liked to flake out. The  size looks right though. Anybody done a swap like
that?
