I took a big gulp of cold air and headed for the boat. Actually, sitting under the cockpit snuggled up to the motor wasn't too bad. I thought it would be a lot hotter. But I digress...

Thanks for the confirmation, link, and definition of that "other exciting" wire! It's nice to have the confidence of experience already gained by others. Makes repairing easier when you have...

round 1

Today I went to the boat and checked things out. It's getting to 110 around here so spending extensive time working on it isn't feasible (unless you have a large S on your chest). I tried to get an...

Thanks all for the great suggestions. I did pull the cap off the distributor and see where the wire goes through. It appears to be ok. I'm seriously thinking it's either a coil getting hot or a...

Hello all!
I have a 1970 vintage A4 and the only gauge I have is a Ammeter. I'd like to add a temp and oil pressure gauge but not sure where they attach at the motor. I assume the oil goes behind...
