Re: Austin's 1977 Tintop Camper

Do you own the Robert Bentley manual? If not,that's the first thing you need. Excellent section on the FI. You can trouble shoot most of it with a test lite. I have two copies, one for the garage and one for the road. I also have Muir's book and also the "How to Rebuild Your Aircooled Volkswag...

Heads: If mine are not repairable, I will probably bite the bullet and buy a new pair from Len Hoffman for ~$1450
