29 psi. This seems too low to me,...

Any help will be appreciated!

his full name and address and the full story. Then we shun him. I mean
we don't reply to his posts and ignore his replies to our posts.

Alternator Belt Break and overheat by
Rookie
I have a brand new engine in a 74 Super Beetle...installed in April.
The Alternator belt broke on my way home and I drove about 10 miles
to the nearest lighted area.
The engine was smoking... I thought the aircooling system was ran off
of the crank, or is it electrical???
