Curiouser and curiouser by
John[_28_]
Jeez, its quite!. After very much longer than I care to admit I twigged that
the cause of my T3 being reluctant to start when hot may have nothing to do
with carburation.
Taking the other approach I decided to look at ignition electrics.
Ignition is fed by a relay under back seat energised by...

other suppliers to put ignition modules in and sold for about $125. Has
anyone one used...

FS: Hazet 36 mm striking wrench by
Eric[_20_]
I have a Hazet 36 mm striking wrench for sale. It's used, but the wrench
points show no wear. It works great on the rear axle nuts when you don't
have air tools available or when they aren't enough.
See page 62 of the Hazet...

these days?
Many thanks

Ignition switch wiring?? by
Jan Andersson[_4_]
Someone needed help with wiring on his newly acquired kit car. As far as
he knows the donor was a 73 Beetle (US).
He claims the VIN starts 1332-something. That does not correspond to any
VW of that era.
The wires coming from the ignition switch a

What year is this? by
David Gravereaux
Is there a definitive "coffee table" book out there to help me refresh?
I saw a flat window Super and forgot '72s were that way until someone
reminded me... I'm losing it in my old age.

Father Of The VW Beetle by
Bill Berckman
In every VW book I have read, they cite Ferdinand Porsche as the
person who designed the VW Beetle. I ran across some information
today that disputes that. It says that an engineer by the name of
Josep Ganz was the person responsible, but because he was Jewish, he
was forced to leave Germany...

Those dowel pins on the flywheel. by
Mr. K[_2_]
I was looking at this; and I wondered ; Why are those dowels so short.
It would seem like they should be long enough to "fill" the flywheel and
the crank . you know maybe another 3 mm in length. Does anyone make
longer ones. and are there Oversize ones ?
TIA

Air vs coil by
euroteam1
I am a retired Pastor trying something new. I just acquired a V W
Beetle/dune buggy. Apparently the kids who tried to build it couldn't
figure out how to raise the body of the dune buggy up from the V W
chassis to fit the 20" spoke rims. They put 2 pieces of HY 80 angle
iron in to replace the...

Today's hint; by
Mr. K[_2_]
well, installing an engine in a '71 Van went pretty well, but I forgot
to thread the accelerator cable as it went in.
So, being claustrophobic , I found a long tube the same dimensions as
the original throttle tube. Push that thru inches longer and it was a
lot easier to find down under.
Hope...
