VW Type III: Credits
Well, seein' as how I wasn't born until a year after D-Jetronic was introduced, I certainly didn't come up with all this info and these pictures first-hand. Here's a big list of all the sources I used to put this "Owner's Manual" together.
Real People from 'netland who made contributions and suggestions (in absolutely no particular order!):
- Me, Greg Merritt, gregm@vwtype3.org (owner of the only taupe, mauve, yellow, green, Cummins beige, avocado, sky blue, coral and rust '71 squareback that's seen the Atlantic, Pacific, Canada and Mexico and lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan)

- Neal Reed, nr@hydres.co.uk ('XX squareback and 'XX fastback) for the UK perspective and resto/rusto tips
