Just noticed that for some reason my last couple of posts haven't shown up here. But today is the day .. the eBay auction closes .. No bites yet at $5k but I have 55 people watching .. I refuse to sell for less .. Any way .. Can't do another year of no a/c ... no heat ... no power steering .....

I am toying with the idea of building a 76x85.5 single-port engine. Ordinarily I would just go with a pair of single-throat cabs, but I've wanted to start playing with a mega-squirt driven FI system. There seems to be plenty of manifold and TB solutions for dual-port heads. What about single-port...

Had my speedo needle in my squareback start to "oscillate" , markedly at low speeds. Easy thinks I, just a broken strand in the speedo cable. Got a new one, exactly the same. Tried my spare speedo, same thing. A month or so later I put a new steering damper on, problem gone!. Must have been...

I just changed my starter on my 77 (stock FI) Bug. I put it a rebuilt autostick one. After installing and connecting everything, it would not turn over. I removed it and did a quick bench trial. It seemed OK. Reinstalled it, same thing, not even a click. So I jumped the connections with a...

I think when VWoA wanted to seperate from the aircooled years we should have embraced this. I have a newer Jetta at the shop that do to electrical problems is not worth fixing but the owner just won't listen. He already left it at my shop for a yr waiting to get the thousands it was sure to cost...

boy, am I perplexed. seems there's miss. I pulled spark plug wires out of the dist. cap , one at a time at idle. of course each wire pulled produced a noticeable bigger miss until I got to #2. I replaced the distributor cap , the plug, wire and checked the compression. WTF could it be?

I've seen many times where the starter for Autostick Bugs can be used instead of the one for manual tranny. I know the difference but want to know if there's any reason not to do the switch. -- Mel

I've just been reading the article about the stolen 65 Bus that was found after 35 years. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/06/california.stolen.vw/index.html Where were you in 1974? I was still in high-school, driving my 1970 convertible bug. Max

I just tried to order a filter oil pump for a mexican 1600 beetle through a local VW dealer in Orlando. I had part numbers and all. He tells me he is really sorry, my part numbers are valid and all, but VWoA will not ALLOW him to order the parts for me and no dealership will have them in the US,...

Spotted a couple of bugs out in 2 different pastures this past week or so. Look to me a 74 and the other is a late 66, maybe 67. Pretty sad shape from what I can tell but I'll bet they are "show winners". I'll have to track down the owners and find out the scoop, etc. Randy

Do any of you use these generator pulleys with the fan on them? http://www.aircooled.net/new-bin/viewproductdetail.php?keyword2=ESM0005&cartid= I would like to get one to use in hot weather to help get the heat out of the engine compartment and to aide in cooling the alternator. My concern is...

I'm sure all the regulars remember when Jake was active here... I'm sure you all also remember the how he idolized and loved his father... Jakes father, Harry, has passed away... I'm sure it's a very tough time for Jake right now, but on his behalf I'd like to ask you folks to give prayers, good...
