It isn't the companies that are to blame. It's people like you and me that demand CHEAP. It will never go away, just look at the full parking lot at Wal-Mart.

The first thing you need to do is put in larger venturis. They come with 37mm vents, use at least 40s, I recommend 42s.

I predict your engine isn't going to be 300hp anymore :)

This same question came up in the vintage VW board, but the other way around. It was determined that in around 1955, the tag changed from "Made in Germany" to "Made in Western Germany".

Check your wheels again. 14" wheels were last used a decade before your car was made. I think you will find the wheels on the car are 16", and the original wheels that came with it are 15".
