Pulled the fuel distributor off the MK1 Jetta only to find it was stuck. A little starting fluid to clean it up and it woke up like a sleeping beast! I haven't road tested it as yet. I still have to tweak and tune it. Pretty excited that its running.

Well messed with the 81 Jetta today, found that it needs a new motor. Picking a know good one up for $50. It is a good thing cause now I get to clean up the engine bay at the motor swap time. I am getting a little bigger motor with quite a bit more torque and horsepower. Nothing to write home about but it is still an upgrade.

What is in there is a 1.7L. There really not bad motors good for daily driving. The motor going in is out of a 1985 Golf GTI.
Specs 1.7L 90 lb-ft of torque, 74-hp 8.0:1 compression 1.8L 105 lb-ft of torque, 100 hp 10.5:1 compression
Nothing super special but a nice upgrade.

Started looking at the 79 Rabbit and it may be getting a chop. If it does not sell by the weekend then chop!
