Hey guys, I need some help from the type 3 experts. I just bought a Ghia that had been stored in a barn for years. I also made a deal with them and bought all the old VW stuff they had.
I came across these carbs that I’m assuming are type3, what’s odd is that the manifolds are for dual port heads. If I’m not mistaken, I think all the US type 3s were EFI from ‘68 on and dual port heads came out in the seventies.
What do you think?

| Thanks, I guess I had forgotten that the Type 3 got dual port heads in ‘67. Yes that is a “g” distributor. There is also another type 3 distributor with a cast iron housing. What year would that be from? |

1964 or older.

Thanks Glenn, Wow, that's got to be a bit rare, it looks to be in very nice shape.

That's a non-Bosch distributor made by Garbe Lahmeyer. They're an odd ball and most people want Bosch.

Thanks! Those may be worthless but I'm sure mine must be worth a fortune!
Next question- what is this distributor from?
