Can anyone please tell me what years gas tank could easily fit into my 1960 Bug? I am looking for a new tank because mine does not have a fuel guage, nor a place to put one. It is a hump style tank.

Hi All, Today is supposed to be the beetle's day and we should go for our jobs on our beetles or may be just a ride on the end off the day to celebrate. João

Hello... The extended family has this dune buggy homebuilt from a 70 Beetle that gets passed around to the kids but so far from one to the next that nobody even really knows the others... bunch of hillbilly farmers spread out that don't like to see anything die as long as someone can use it. At...

70 Beetle turned dune buggy. What generic size does this v-belt translate to? Thanks!

I am totally new to this group and have found an old Corvair in Lawrenceville, Georgia in the woods of a piece of property that a family is selling. Is there a likelihood that someone would want to recover this old Corvair for parts? I know that there are a few bullet holes in it and that it was...

Hello group. It's been a while since I've posted but new problems seem to crop up. I have installed a trio of aftermarket gauges to monitor engine activity out back. Following the manufacturer's instructions has been a bit troublesome. Engine is currently not firing (intentionally) while I try to...

.....Or something like that, I've seen it called. This is surely a silly question to the people in this newsgroup, but what is the chirping sound unique to the VW engine. I've had several people ask me about it and I had to plead ignorant... Thanks Jeff

5 or so years ago, someone registered the name Fweem.com. Because of the other thread about Phweem, I checked to see if that sight was still active. It was not but some computer company has the name now and it is called Fweem Ltd. http://www.fweem.com/ Click on the about us link and they claim...

I am thinking of putting a new cam and bearings in my 1600 vw engine. i am a noob at vw engines and was wondering if i could split a case change a few things like the cam and bearins, etc, and put it back together with little or no problems. i don't want to spend a lot of time rebuilding the engine...

Anybody have a link to a video of one of the record attempt VW engine swaps? Nobody here believes me that the record is around 2 mins. I have the one from the Guinness site but that's cheating, they had the 1st one already off the ground, at least in the video. I want one where they have to drive...
