Have a president who was able to finish full sentences? Would it not be nice?? Perhaps instead of waging war overseas? Would it not be nice to have a government who supported the Kyoto treaty to cut greenhouse gasses, like all of western Europe has done? Whilst the U.S. has increased it's output,...

Just put in my engine, all is well as per the oil leak I was trying to fix. In reference to previous post: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled/browse_thread/thread/bc6447f638b271e2/0d2a422289c7e8b7?hl=en#0d2a422289c7e8b7 Thanks Jim! I think I got it all right now. Leak is...

Saw an ad on TV advertising the Tahoe. General Motors is advertising that it gets the best fuel economy in its class. I was just wondering what class? The thing only gets 15mpg according fueleconomy.gov How gullible would General Motors think someone would be to buy a Tahoe for its great gas...

I am aware that the beetle repo floor pans these days have a couple problems: 1. the metal they are made of is of rather low quality 2. there are problems getting the front tracking to fit and work properly My main question is this: Dose anyone know of a company which makes stainless steel floor...

Ok, I am not sure what is causing this, maybe someone will know. I rebuilt a 1600 single port and went through and adjusted the valves. Everything lined up correctly (valve wise) starting at #1 at tdc. When I crank the motor instead of it sucking in air it blows out of the carb. Did I some how...

This time we're serious! We've done what we're gonna do to her and WE HAVE TO SELL HER NOW! We're lettin' her go for a song! Please check out the following URL for details: http://www.blanchardguitars.com/SellBusLayUp.html Thanks! Kath and Her Majesty - the bus that makes people smile (and me...

To All: Several people have written to ask what they can do to go a little farther on a gallon of gasoline. Often times they cite some really dismal figures, such as 14mpg for a bug or 12 for a bus. Basic rule for stretching your mileage is to drive slower. Alas, that isn't always possible here...

While I was replacing my heater cables and since I was under the car, I took a look on the thermostat. I was surprised when I fond that the thermostat was fixed only by the rod that comes between the cylinder #1 and #3. It should be attached to the support by a screw and a nut. I took the...

Just (finally!) got myself a '74 Thing, but it has no top. I need either a hardtop or a frame (I can get a soft top pretty easily), and I'd prefer to get it locally. Already talked to Bow Wow Cars, they don't have any leads. Reply here or to if you've got one you'd like...

Hi all, Probably a lame question, but ask it anyhow. Is there a torque spec. on the sparkplugs? I'm told not to tighten it too hard because the treads will be "eaten out" after a while. Is this true, and what is too tight? Any advise is very welcome. tia

.... in the garage, collecting dust while I got up the motivation to put on a $2 part (distributor hold-down clamp), I finally got around to putting the clamp into place and setting the timing "by eye" (glancing at the distributor and guessing how it should be oriented)... I removed the...

Sad new for fans of Gilligan's Island. Gilligan(Bob Denver) has passed away. I used to watch that show all the time when I was a kid. http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OBIT_DENVER?SITE=OHCIN&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

1973 super b on power to my fuel tank and speedometer stop workin need help Thankx

Hi Just received some of the above which I bought off ebay. Call me suspicious, but does anyone know how to identify the genuine Brembo part rather than a cheaper drum. Thanks for any info or links to pictures etc. The are to fit my 1972- but I think rear drums are fairly universal anyway.

Are the two choke elements on the twin-carb 1800 the same? It appears that the choke flap inside the the two carbs moves in different directions, one clockwise the other anti. Both the elements in my bus move in the same direction when heating. Any advice?? Cheers.

....that someone who drops their 10-year-old kid off with us at the last minute with a can of ravioli in her hand for her dinner so that they can go to a birthday party (that they've probably known about for a while) ... Nevermind. I feel like I'm a GREAT parent right about now. :-D Now where'd...

Hey guys, I used to read this group a lot, as a lurker mostly. I had a 64 Beetle that is now undergoing full restoration, currently awaiting media blasting. I haven't read this group for a while and thought i'd come back for nostalgic purposes. So, I was wondering who all was still around? ...
