Do you know which engines would it be appropriate for? I don't know which fits what. |

Good info. I never knew they used the same internals.

My engine seems to be from a 1972 type 1. It appears that the valve I need is quite different.
But that doesn't mean the internal rubber bit is.
Is there any chance it fits across the range of valves used? |

just looking at the T1 carb valve and the FI valve they are totally different. You can use a T1 without an egr. I would not worry about it because they didn't use them until the mid-70's, although there was a period in California around 76-77 where ALL cars had to be retrofitted with one. In 1978 we had a friend with a 1958 beetle who had to add one to his engine to register it when he bought it.

Glad that era has evolved. Kind of like the era where we though Lino over oak floors made sense.

with a 1972 bus only the DMV will count unless you have a problem with lights, brakes, noise, worn out tire treads, etc.. 1972 aren't smogged. The smog follows the latter of chassis year or engine year, meaning if you put a 2005 engine in a 1972 car then the car will be treated the same as a 2005 car.

put that in your sig line so we don't think you are a bay owner. Saves us a lot of work. Don't mind you here discussing EGR, and bay owners are more fun too but it is nice for us to know what we are dealing with. What year vehicle kit car is that licensed as?

1973 VW.
BUT, Here's the thing. I have no clue if my engine was from a car or bus.
It could be built with mixed parts too. |
