I have 4 cars *full* of parts both new & used, in N.E. Ga. USA (not far from I-85). All early '70s - two Super (one flat window & one curved) & two regular Beetles. Including one with flared fenders, front disc brake conversion, aluminum slot wheels, etc. No complete engines... Everything is for...

I got one NIB. Cheap. Cool. Now, is there any special trick to installing it on a T1? Got the Pertronix in an 09 right now. -- John Boy getting stupider every day

Hello all. I've gotten back to working on my engine project again. The 96mm "AA" pistons/cylinders and Totalseal rings are present and accounted for. I'm glad I took the rings off and looked at them before installation, because one of the pistons was missing one of the oil control rings (the...

Hey guys, I put some dropped spindles on my '70 Ghia and love the look but... Unfortunately even though I've put lower profile tires (195/50-15) it still rubs under hard cornering (with body roll). Is there anything I can do short of pulling the front beam and putting adjusters (ugh) or...

Hi, Do the centre adjusters need to be on matching notches top and bottom axle tube (i.e. in the same position)? When I moved mine, I adjusted them (in unison) from where they had individually settled. Just wanted to check I have it right before moving on to something else.

need one of these badly. do any of you guys have a late super sunroof in you junkyards?...

I finally installed the new outside scraper on my 1974 Super Beetle and am happy that I can drive the car when it rains again. Thanks to Jan and Roger for their input. I pretty much followed Jan's steps. I found that to install this new scraper I had to: Remove door crank, arm rest, release...

I've had this '71 super beetle for long about 10 years now. It was driveable for about 2 of those years, and I had a lot of fun with it. It's been sitting for a LOOOONG time though and it's time I finished what I started and get it turned into the car I planned to turn it into. I tore into...

I have a '71 Fuel injected Squareback. It's running hot,burning oil, and I can't figure out why. The compression is good. The valves are gaped correctly. The dwell and timing are set. The advance works. The Voltage regulator works fine. And the seal on the Manifold Pressure sensor is...

How much does a standard 1970 bus weigh? I'd like to convert one to all electric one and want to use a beetle kit. Thanks, David

Just wanted to know your thoughts on installing a rear engine brace to make up for worn out rear transmission mounts. I don't or I am not ready to pull my engine yet and want to get rid of some slop in the driveline. Or if you have any other ideas that would be awesome. Thanks

Hello all, Firstly, I want to thank everyone who participates here. I've learned a great deal and unlearned as well. After searching past posts about CDI units I decided to contact Universal Corp. I received a prompt return message telling me they had sold out of the "older...

I have a 40 IDF. when every i press the gas pedal down fast, it hesiates. I have to feather the gas on acceleration, or ride the clutch to get the rpm's up before going...any ideas? Thanks

ok, wut does the red light mean its between the vent controls, on a 1970 VW beetle

The EGR light just lit up on my '78 westy. I think this is an emission control system, right? How expensive is this to fix? Is it just the EGR valve? Thank for any help. Jim

History I have a 1971 super beetle that runs and starts. The thing that is odd is it will not start with the key. I have to turn the key to start to get the motor turning over with the starter and have to turn the key to run to get it to fire. This has been going on for a few years from what I...

Blew out the ECU (Fuel Injection Computer) in the wife's vert. I have a Bosch with a part number that ends in "D". I have been told that not all ECU's are interchangeable. Does anyone know which ECU models are compatible with my "D" model? Thanks Jim

I've been collecting up parts for a 1915 (69x94) and was expecting to send the lot to Raby and have him do his best (balance job)... but having taken a year out to bury a father and wife... now that I return I find he nolonger accepts T.1 motors. Any suggestion on where I should turn? I'm looking...
