Pick up a VW Bentley manual.

They are basically required for working on these cars.

Also create an account over at http://forums.vwvortex.com in the Golf1/Jetta1 subforum. LOTS of information there and they have a good classifieds section so you can find parts.

Source: I've had several of these cars.


EDIT: Ditch CIS entirely and switch it to either megasquirt or carburetors. Youll save yourself a TON of headache in the long run.

I'd start with something like this

https://www.amazon.com/1959-Ford-Truck-Shop-Manual/dp/B00BGB96FC

go through the book and the truck and find out what is missing first.

It sounds like you're comfortable with a carb; if that's the case then EFI should be easy for you. Greg Banish has a few books, this one and this one, that lay it out very well. These are the best how to books on the topic I know of. An Innovate LC2 (or the outgoing LC1 for a bit cheaper) is all the equipment you'll need.

I used to say the same thing about EFI vs carbs... now I can hardly imagine running a carbed car. My '83 Alfa will definitely get EFI, probably the '72 Duster as well. Part of that may be that I'm an engineer in the engine industry, I confess that I probably have certain biases.

It's more for the causal bike rider. All the information comes from this book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Caring-Your-Bicycle-Maintain-Handbook/dp/1845844777

The RAC is a breakdown company in the UK so the advice is quite good, and all the videos we made ourselves showing all the maintenance and how to's so it's a little different from the stuff online pheraps. :)

Why don't you order one from them. It'll cost about 35 dollars.

Amazon has them for 28$.

Go to Amazon and brab a copy of the factory assembly manual. I have a copy and it is the best thing I ever purchased. 826 pages of everything you will need to assemble your car.
