guys: great feed back and advise, thanks. I had a 1969 VW, you jogged my memory on the maintenance. Suby with EFI, ECM, no valve lash adjustment is more to my liking. Looking at 2 coupes, one with VW aircooled and one with a Suby. I have a better understanding of the price differential between them. Thinking that the Suby coupe is the better way to go, would prefer a more reliable daily driver type of car.
