Scored a box of junk!!

My neighbor gave me a box of parts "laying around his brothers garage" from
some VW he owned at some point. Contents: one cylinder head, used, size
unknown, one camshaft, one cylinder,one German carb, 30 pict 68 style in
pieces,one vacuum only dizzy 68 style, 3 inside mirrors,all different,2 66
style taillights(repainted! complete!) some sunvisors from I don't know
what, not type 1, some cheapie chrome bits, a compression tester with
stripped looking threads, a bug license plate light, a bug pedal cluster, a
handful of used spark plugs, a used set of points, and part of an outside
mirror, and the "biggie" a vacuum dizzy.
The dist is a bosch 231 173 007, dual vacuum, I looked it up on
the web, it looks like its for a 73 bus, I figured out how to make it work
from Kens Buggy Barn site. My question is: Will it work in a basically
stock 1600 bug, and is it worth trying?

I have a 021-905-205J dual vac bus distributor on a stock 1600. Works
great!

I would think the retard for cylinder 3 would not be correct and #3 would
run hotter than it should (since on the T4 the air flow was not impeded to
#3.

But if you had installed a dog house shroud, it would work then, correct?
I need to get the numbers off my dual vac dizzy and look it up. I also
need to know if my compufire will work in it as well.

BTW, where do the vacuum hoses connect? I know one connects to the carb,
but where does the other one connect, to the intake, just below the carb?

The retard vac is a slightly larger hose and goes on the back of the
carb(front is front of the car) slightly larger vac port.the advance vac
goes to the left side of the carb
