Motor is from an 85 Audi 4000 - same as GTi.  He can't find the wiring

      Is anyone familer with the Audi engines?  What fuel system is on
this
thing.


The following is why I asked the question......along with this there are
several
different fuel systems that go along with the different years and motor
