I'm sorry to essentially ask the same question again but I've double- checked a few things and the mystery remains. The block in my buggy is from a 70 T2 and I'm using the correct distributor for this engine. When I adjusted the valves I made sure that the rotor was coming around to #1, and turned...

Dear Sirs: I would like to ask if anyone here has had any luck with a pillar mount gauge pod 2 or 3 gauges???? I am looking for what model would work well with a 72 standard beetle???? Thanks Ken

ive got a 61 baja with a 1500 (H0087682) and i was told that it would run with an alternator. i installed that alternator and i havent been able to get it to turn over at all. not even a click from the starter solenoid. i also noticed that the battery is good, but none of the electrical works, like...

Trying to put a new (TMI) headliner in a 74 super with the factory sunroof. I was told it uses 5 steel "bows", however, there is a drop down section where the panel slides back into, how do I attach the headliner to that? I never did it before, and the video only shows install of non...

After I installed a replacement 12v starter I found a small brass fitting in the box, and decided it must have come off the end of the drive pinion. Damn. I also noticed that the starter I removed did not have this part. So can someone advise me as to how important is this fitting? Should I...

I replaced the convertible top (padding & headliner) on my Ghia. I've seen how people say that replacing headliners are difficult. I want to do it on my Bug (with factory sunroof). Is it more difficult than doing the Ghia CV top? -- Mel 77 Revived Bug & 70 Ghia...

I just purchased a 66 vw bug, and after reading the thread on tire pressure, I was wondering what you recommend for tire replacement. In the tire pressure thread some of you have gone with a lower profile tire 165. Will these lower profile give you more comfort and a smoother ride? I'm open...

Hi everyone, I have a 1964 camper bus. I'm told it's the kind that was brought over here as a cargo van and then made into a camper here. In any case, it's slowly but surely rusting away. I have rust around the area just above the front wheels, at the back where the battery sits, and in the front,...
