Why did they weld the holes in the refurbished rocker set? by
[email protected]
They welded the little hole in each of the rockers on the adjustment
screw end.
I thought that maybe there had been a problem in that area with them
breaking, so they welded them to make them stronger.
Here is a link to the pic of the rocker set.
I noticed that in the pic they do not show the...

Product review by
Joey Tribiani
Hello Ramva-ites.... I made an engine adaptor years ago to put a vw engine
on a standard roll around stand... didn't use it often as I always seemed to
use a milkcrate(let the head studs set down through the openings) until it
was to shortblock status, then install the flywheel.. .then I'd set...

Update to the saga by
[email protected][_1_]
The head is still sitting on the ground tonight, I stretched out the
pushrod tubes a bit after painting them and decided to fix the
thermostat bracket attach point before I put anything back on. It
seems like last time I did the re-seal job I didn't stretch the tubes,
which could be what...

Gasket question by
Eddie
I bought a stock fuel pump last night and I didn't realize until later
that there was 2 of the same gaskets. The lower one . Would it make
any difference if I use one on the top of the insulator block?

Steering issues - Multiple symptoms - one problem by
[email protected]
This one was kind of fun ... in a terrifying sort of way. Thought I'd
pass it along.
The car in question is a 1968 type-3. The front brakes are disks.
Rears are drums and adjusted equally. I replaced the ball-joints, tie-
rod ends and rear spring plate bushings a little over a year ago. They
are...

Installing a 60,000 Volt Ignition Coil by
[email protected]
I'm getting a new coil installed. Do I need to re-adjust the dwell/
points? And most importantly can I use the same wires and spark plugs
and what would I re-gap the spark plugs to? These are the original
style Bosch spark plugs for this '77 Fuel injected Standard Beetle
sedan.

I'm gonna need some more advice on the Vee Dub by
[email protected]
Today I changed the fuel filter on this fuel injected Bug. I still
hear noise coming from the gas tank when the fuel pump is running. Is
there an extra screen inside the tank that might be clogged? It
sounds like water is bubbling inside the gas tank or there might be an
obstruction somewhere...

Cooling flaps - sell or trade by

Couple years back I happened across a set of what I thought were type
1 cooling flaps along with a thermostat, spring, and thermostat
bracket. I intended to use these in my 1600 dual port. Tonight, with
the engine on the ground for some repairs I decided to try and fit the
flaps..and they don't...

EMPI ignition update by
Anthony W
We had a beautiful sunny day here in Portland, Or. Something that we
don't often see in November and I took advantage of it and installed the
ignition kit. It was a simple and straight forward installation and the
only hitch was I found one of the advance can screws was too long and

KP and BJ springs different? by
[email protected]
We are going through a stash of parts from a local fellows barn. We
have a bundle of torsion bars that are tagged as having come from a 70
type-1. Will these work on a king-pin front end from a 1960 bug?

Wheel weights by
John J[_3_]
I just had a guy on another forum ask why heavy wheels (or hubs) are a
Bad Thing, IOW he seems to think that heavy wheels are not a factor
concerning performance of a street machine. Is it not obvious?
