Cams, lights, revoulutions, and the weather(long)

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

Au contrair (obviously, I'm not French),the term shouldn't offend anyone...it's in widespread use.  Hey, even homosexuals use it.
I use it myself in describing certain things...'specially when I want to get my point across.

  Hello again,
  Thanx to all who responded. First off It has been brought to my attention
  that my "gay headlights" comment may offend some, it's not my intention to
  do so. And such I do apologize to anyone I may have offended. I realize now
  that it was somewhat inappropriate.
  Second...is there any way to tell it my car is solid or hydro from the
  outside???


  thanx again
   -The George

  Hey
  (exit lurk mode)
  Just have a few questions need answering.

   Question the first : My 86 rocco(stock JH), solid lifter or hydro?  I was
  under the impression that all 85 and up vw's were hydro. But a friend told
  me that all A1's made in W.Germany were solid....I'm confuzzled. And is
  there any way to tell without removing the valve cover? Also, if it's hydro,
  I'll be  swapping on a solid lifter head in the spring, any problems/things
  that don't line up?

   Question #2 : My tach randomly cuts out. I just had the cluster out of the
  car and apart, so it's entirely possible that something didn't get plugged
  back in properly, but I'm a lazy POS and don't wanna take it back out yet.
  So where does the signal for the tach come from?  I think coil? I figure
  corrosion could also be at the heart of my problems.

   Question #3 : Gay head lights.(yeah that's not really a question) Low beams
  both work, click on the high beams and both lights on the passenger side
  some on, but I lose low and high on the drivers side. I had this happen with
  my 82 and it was just a fuse......no such luck here. I've checked what I can
  see of the wires and all seems well. I've been planning on relaying my
  lights for a while now(still just crappy little seamed beams) and I was
  wondering if I can get away with one 40 amp relay for the low beams and on
  for the highs, instead of one for each bulb? I have no intention of getting
  eurolights.
  Also could somebody with a bently tell me what fuses are for what?  I don't
  have anything labeling them, thanx!

   Question #4 : The outside temp gauge(MFA) has not worked since I got the
  car. It just reads -40, is this more likely to be them temp sender or the
  wiring? Where is the sender and what does it look like? What colour is the
  wire for it?

  Any input is greatly appreciated!!!
  TIA
   -George

  P.S. It's frikkin' cold!!!!!!!!.....!   And I've been on the list for just
  over a year now!! Yay rocco's!
