hello all,

first off, i'd like to apologize for jumping in w/o any introduction, i was anxious to get into the forum and get involved. :oops:

my name is steve kuczek and i'm from bloomfield,nj. my wife and i finally found a ghia vert after a year or so of looking. it's a 73 that has had some performance mods that i'm am still trying to figure out:
msd ignition, dual dellorto carbs,009 distributor, scat shifter, heads, rockers, and cam of unknown type(at least to me), oil cooler, sound system, etc...
i'm working through a carb & ignition problems & have been making notes and using the forums as there is a wealth of experience out there.

hopefully, i can offer some help as well.

sak

thanks, it's been fun so far, trying to track down its history. i think i am at least the fourth owner. i have back tracked it to virginia, rhode island, and california. i'd like to find out who did the engine and paint job.

it's my first aircooled. it joins a 99 jetta & 02 passat. and it took it right place in the passat's garage slot :P
