The wheels are the same sport wheels that came on late model verts. As noted above, they were painted silver. If you are considering replicating one, think about sand blasting and powder coating all tim black, it will look and hold up alot better than simply painting it. -jeffrey

What size oil cooler seal to us?

PM me your address and I'll send you some and save you 10 dollars postage. I have plenty of those leftover from German gasket sets where I've built engines with doghouse coolers.

If you can't get the can to hold vacuum, that could be the source of your problem, and you need to replace the can anyways. when doing this you need to have the cap and dust cover off of the distributor to make sure the advance plate is actually moving, also.

multiple alternators
Published (2009-11-27 20:01:00)
I am really trying to help you, I believe the thread of the guy who fabbed up a bracket for his GM alternator is on shoptalkforums.com, but their search engine ignores the letters "GM" which is worthless. I also remember seeing an add for a company who actually sold the bracket so you could use the GM alternator, but that was years ago.

Did you drive the car after changing the tire? It may just need to settle.

Try double checking your procedure for TDC. Otherwise maybe a bent pushrod?

Just as soon as I post this there will be a thousand people that will disagree. Your belt is to tight if its wearing out! A loose belt will never wear out. You should have about a half inch movement in your belt when it is hot. As for your Gen light glowing dimly at idle with your lights on is normal. Lastly, if you have a Altenator, use a belt for a Altenator. There are Altenator belts ...

How cow Have you already got most of that installed?? Pictures?
I'm not really sure there is a simple way to run a functional second alternator in a bug engine compartment, there isn't a huge amount of space. I suppose if you were creative enough you could fit a relatively small one to the left of where the stock alternator goes, kind of near where an a/c compressor would go.

dont use water. if you can try to scrape all the heavy stuff off you can with a wirebrush then soak in degreaser, vinegar or a bucket of chemdip carb cleaner. when i got my carb from the local junk yard it had alot of calcium build up on the inside of it so i soaked it in CLR for a few hours and that cleared it out in a big hurry (made it run much better too). i dont know if yours is dirty or ...

My mom bought a 1972 Super Beetle off the showroom floor as a high school graduation present to herself. I had expressed interest in it as a kid and when I graduated myself a few years ago, my mom was more than happy to give me the keys and sign over the papers.
I'm now 26 and finding myself in the financial position of finally being able to take all the cosmetic parts I purchased as a ...

Straight... to the abortion thread.
The BEST way i've seen it done is to use a cut down Nova chassis and drop a Beetle body on it.

I have A '71 super with the fresh air/fan box missing in the trunk. I read all the old threads regarding heating/defrosting and looked at the diagrams posted, but I still have a couple questions.
My passenger handle opens the rear seat hole on the driver's side, but not the right. I got under the car and saw the cable wasn't connected to the flap in the right heater box, so this is ...
