high altitude carb jetting by
[email protected]
Hey guys! I could use some advice on carburetor adjustment and
jetting. I just moved from ~1300ft to ~7200 ft. I towed by 1965 stock
1200 Bug behind my uhaul truck, and when i unloaded it up here, it
would barely run, and kept stalling. So i adjusted the idling mixture
and now it works fairly well....

Darrell Daniels and his son Nick rolled up to the shop about noon
today.
I stumbled around pretending to know what I was doing whilst Chief
Daniels picked up my 1965 bus and flipped her upside down, whereupon
son Nick plucked out the starter. After cluck-clucking and shaking of
heads they removed...

torsion-bar seals & squeals by
SF Briarpatch (e)
I have recently begun driving my '70 bug after not driving it much for
the last 6 years. (Short story: The brand new master cylinder that I
used replace an old one 6 years ago turned out to be defective as well.)
My first question concerns the rubber boots & seals on the front end.
It looks like...

#($*%*(@#( alternator by
[email protected][_1_]
For the first time ever I had to have my beloved 'fat chic' towed
home. Saturday I was out tooling around paying bills when I hear a

Losing Newsgroup Access by
Funkie
What do you guys use, preferably free? Comcast is getting rid of giganews service. They are basically saying it is outdated and not worth providing the service.

OT Started building a deck today by
Shag
Man, that post-hole digger is gonna kill me! Tough work for someone
who's used to a desk job. Some of those 16' long 2X10 pressure-
treated boards get pretty heavy, too. It was a workout just loading

total loss. The transmission was rebuilt by Stuff and works perfectly. The
rims were all powder coated and are still nice. The drums are all German
and installed early last year. The wheel cylinders and hoses are all...
