I just picked up a 2.0 ABA w/ 8v head/stage 3 cam for my Bug conversion...I was looking at my steal ($100) and noticed something on the ABA block that is not a regular 8v engine...under the heads water inlet is a black plastic housing, looks like a water hook up....what does it connect to?

is there a solid plug on it? i mean has it been plugged? or is it open...and im going to say something silly... how many hoses are coming out of the flange? possibly to the afterrun wp. just a thought. attach a pic if you can.

It hasnt been plugged, it the same size as the head inlet...1, 1/4 inch. There is only the 1 inlet....the housing has a little 2" extension that runs along the block and looks like in goes into the engine. I will try to get some pics.
