My dad came by yesterday and helped me get started on framing up a 24X30 shop I'm building in the back yard. Man, he's a hard worker! I had trouble keeping up with him. Here's the work in progress and I'll update the page as I get more done to the shop. Gonna be cool when this is finished. ...

Just checked the engine code at the alternator stand base and according to the code and Mr. Muir my engine should be timed at 5 degrees ATDC. I just now checked the static timing and it looks like it's set to... oh, about 32 degrees BTDC. WTF?!? It's an aftermarket pulley but it is keyed so I...

I've been looking for but can't find those locking engine mount bolts. I've finally finished the perpetual project engine and I'm getting ready to stuff it into my Baja bug. I don't want some one to be able to easily steal my expensive engine, any ideas on this? Tony Geezer biker in Portland, OR

I apologize if this is a stupid question. But what are the differences between Standar and Super Beetles? Is there an easy way to tell them apart when looking at them? Thanks, John

Hello, I can remember writing about this a while ago, but thought i'd ask again as my minds a bit naff. I have a 1600cc AB engine (with Engle 110, 1500 g/box and 32/36 Weber dual Choke). I've seen that you can buy a piston kit to make it 1641cc. Sounds good as i understand that you dont need to...

Another question in regards to the 6v. I have a intermittent starting problem. When I turn the key, sometimes the two indicator lights come on, but the engine won't start, just hear a click sound. I'll have to turn the key to the left (counterclockwise) shutting it off and try to start it again,...

Worked on my rail some today. Replaced the winch that got busted yesterday, cleaned it up, cleaned the garage, yadda, yadda. My hands are all swollen up and killin' me. I rubbed some arthritis cream stuff all over them and it didn't seem to help. Allergies starting to kick in in my old age so...

There are two wires next to the double relay in the rear luggage compartment of my '78 Super beetle. Both of the wires are female spade connections. They are both white and of similar length to the white wires that go into the engine compartment side of the double relay. I have not been able to...
