I plan to break the engine in on conventional ignition as as soon the carbs are set up and I feel comfortable I´ll switch to full EDIS system.

Well on my side not really. I started the engine just yesterday to find out a small oil leak from behind flywheel area so usual suspect is cam plug or inproperly tightened oil galley plug. So the engine goes out on Monday for a repair.
Small progressive changes were made: stock weight 8 dowel flywheel, other exhaust. Starting well, holding nice idle, very rich as my mixture screws are in very basic adjustment. But it will be all sorted.

PLEASE for the love of everything Volkswagen, get that fuel pressure regulator/filter out of there!
If it leaks, it would flow onto the distributor.
It looks like it is mounted to the shroud, something is bound to vibrate loose.
I've seen too many of the remains of those things in burnt-out engine bays. Disaster waiting to happen. PLEASE!  |

very valid point, is there only for initial adjustment of the fuel pump output (by shortening the push rod). Will not be there after this is sorted and remains of 1 yr old fuel in the tank run out. The fuel filter is located under the tank in usual location).
