no radiator
No carburetor
Inside the left rear fender of every 1968
Volkswagen Fastback and Squareback, there's a
small metal box full of transistors, wires and
stuff like that.
This box is an electronic computer.
What it computes is exactly how much gas the
four fuel injectors ought to shoot into the manifold.
What the whole business does is replace the
carburetor.
So you can forget whatever carburetor prob
lems you've had in the past—dirt, flooding, jam
ming, you name it—because there's no more
carburetor. What you get instead is quick, sure
starts and efficient engine operation under all
conditions.
That's because electronic fuel injection is a
whole new way to make car engines run.
The closest thing to it is a $325 optional extra
on a car that costs almost twice as much. But elec
tronic fuel injection is standard equipment on
Fastbacksat $ 2 - 179 ‘,andonSquarebacksat $2,349*
All of which should make you feel the same
way about the carburetor as you do about put
ting antifreeze and water into the radiator.
You can learn to live without it.

Lead At Phoenix
PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD—
Frank Boynton, a tall, scholarly
looking pro golfer, resigned his
club job at Cleveland, Ohio, a
few months ago and decided to
take another crack at the big
money on the PGA tour after a
four-year absence.
At 31, he has the experience
to make the grade but in the
first five tournaments of the
year he was hardly sensational,
winning about $3,000.
Thursday in the first round of

he shot a 32-34—66, five under

The threat of a mass boycott
hung over the Mexico City

the controversy could wreck the
