what you mean "by the computer and distributor cap"? they are quite far apart, the computer (ECU) is below the seat and the distributor on the engine. you mean both are buzzing?

buzz near the distributor can be from a bad coil, buzz at the ECU, no idea. unless your connector has somehow come loose.

So, I'm replacing my heat exchangers. I've got my car lifted on jack-stands and the rear-wheels off. My attempts to loosen the top nut where they connect to the exhaust manifold have been fruitless. Unless I'm missing something (hoping that I am), it seems as though I'll need to drop the engine to access them properly. Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

No, I was only commenting on my experience, if you have to remove the engine.

But, as I look into my crystal ball, I predict a similar project in my near future:

Today was excellent weather and we since morning were engaged in car.
During the winter "doggie" of the fixer of the hand brake lever took off, it was necessary to adjust the hand brake and to replace a lever casing.
1. I replaced a washer reservoir on original with the electric pump which was put in a drain since 1982, but on this model I was pneumatic which used air pressure in a spare wheel. Unfortunately. a complete set in that to find anywhere any more
2. Trifles such as boots and caps are established.
3. Pressed with liqud front torsion bars.
4. High-voltage wires of ignition, and a spark plug are replaced. In 3 and 1 cylinders a situation good, and here 2 and 4 candles strongly black, it is necessary to deal with the carburetor.

5. Mineral oil in the engine is replaced with the most viscous 20W50, and also a filter in the crankcase.

The following steps, replacement of the fuel level sensor and to carry out its calibration. Further already I showed the car to children from ChipsAway Moscow
that tinted some problems on a car body and executed polish of a car body.
Generally we prepare for the VAGBURG festival which will take place in Yakhroma place which situated near Moscow 26.05.2018.

Played around with my Mexicans a bit:
Washed and waxed my 1983 selvas green Beetle and took my 1984 velvet red Beetle (samtroter Sonderkäfer) for a spin in spring;
