I'll start things off by providing a link to the collected type 4 literature on the samba itself.

What could happen if you put w8cc spark plugs and set the timing to 4 degees above TDC on a '74 412 wagon manual trans. engine.

2. VW 411 & 412 [repair manual], 1968 thru 1973, Haynes, 1974

I have also heard of a 411 repair manual from InterEurope books.

My 1974 edition of "Fix Your Volkswagen" by Larry Johnson also includes information on fixing Type 4 vehicles.

I've got a pristine and complete Aug 1970 Parts Book - I've scanned and PDF'd it and posted it on the Type-4 YahooGroup. Is there space for it on The Samba? It's about 9 meg total.

I think you will need to contact Everett to see if he would be interested.
