Hi Loren<
I've got a 1.5 in a 40 foot sailboat I've owned since new.  I believe it's a
1979 motor as the boat was built in mid 1980.  The Marinizer was Pathfinder.
Its been a great motor.  I have re-timed the pump based on my 1979 Bentley
so I don't know what the original timing was from the factory, but its prop
limited to 4000 rpm.  All I've done in the 3000+ hours is filters,
injectors, timing belt, and adjust the valves; and add a boost pump from the
tank.  My filter is a bit I the way of reading the numbers but here is what
I think they say...the last few numbers are the easiest to read...

Cast in to the pump are
The VW number 068-130-107L
The Bosch number 0-460-494-028

There is also this number below the bosch and above the vw number
425-00-R163

Also, stamped into the pump below and to the right of the cast numbers is
02452
