That was when you could still feel the engine ingest fuel/air, unlike the rubbery feel of CIS, but I will say the loss of all those vacuum hoses and Stromberg carb was welcome. My Rabbit had a unique alternator fan moan with clattery tappets that was a lovely sound I have not heard from any Rabbit since.
I will have to wait awhile, I am taking on a Nissan project next. Could be a bad water pump, could be a head gasket leak. But it is free, so no teeth looking yet.
