Yes, I believe it did. However I only ever used as an on-off switch :)
The add--on oil cooler was a popular tweek. My friend, a VW mechanic,
bought a '72 van new with his inheritance and added one first thing.
The other critical thing was to keep the valves adjusted religiously.
Unfortunately I'm not religious. I think that the funky cooling shroud
allowed #3 to run hot + poorly adjust valves = a bad combo.
I sold the VW to a suc....fine person and moved up to a "62 Rambler.
