70 Steering Box help needed by
vgonman
Guys,
I have about 8 inches of l=play in my steering, and the steering box
is the culprit. I visually watched from under the car. The steering
coupler has been replaced, and the swing lever is NOTR moving up and
down. I tried to adjust the box, but the gear is all the way in.
Are these easy...

There are times when you need to put something together fast, often
while HOLDING the parts in positionby HAND, such as when you are
making a jig or fixture. Many times the fixture is made of whatever
wood you happened to have available.... 'good' scrape, if you know
what I mean. But...

ADJUSTING VW VALVES -- AGAIN by
Bob Hoover
I get a LOT of mail about adjusting the lash on Volkswagen valves, and
much of that mail comes from folks who are FLYING behind a converted
VW engine, making it a valid topic for this Newsgroup.
The basic message is that for an in-service engine you DO NOT use the
adjustment procedure shown in the...

Faster engine warmup question. Help Please! by
[email protected]
A few of the ac vw owners here that happen to be Puerto Rican,
recommend removing the big curved rear engine tine so that the engine
will heat up faster. By-the-way I'm not knocking Puerto Ricans.
I was thinking of trying it for the cold weather.
Then I would replace it in warm weather.
My...

1961 Volkswagen Beetle/Type 1 by
[email protected]
Was this a good year for the Beetle? What should people watch out
for? How did Volkswagen squeeze out 4 more horse power out of the
1200cc from 1960 to 1961? What are the good points to this year Bug
and what are the bad points? I'm thinking of buying one in original
condition, mostly rust free.

Sofi Oksanen .... by
Esko Rantanen
Neutriinojen oskillaatio pelastikin päivänpaisteen aivan hiljattain. Jo
vuonna 1968 oli näet huomattu, että Auringosta tulee vain kolmannes niistä
neutriinoista, joita sen säteilyn tuottaminen teoriassa edellyttää. Oli siis
syytä epäillä, ettei auringonpaisteen alkuperää ymmärretty kunnolla....

Wiper motor questions by
Eddie
I picked up a 12v, four spade, wiper motor that I would like to put into
my 12v '65.
Whats the easiest way to bench test it, to make sure it works first of all?
Will the motor bolt right into the assembly?
I want to replace the original switch for a 2 speed switch. A '67
switch should work.

It drives by
[email protected][_1_]
Granted, it sounded like 8 angry woodpeckers were taking up residence
in the engine bay, but it started, the two warning lights went out,
and I went for a brief drive. It seemed to run okay, and when I stood
on the throttle all 49 and a half ponies sprang to life and I rocketed
to 40 miles an hour...

BANG! Maailmankaikkeuden historia./Neutriino.
Neutriinot ovat pieniä ja hyvin kevyitä hiukkasia. Niitä syntyy
ydinfuusiossa, jotka toimivat tähtien (esimerkiksi Auringon,
perusydinvoimalan) energian lähteinä. Useiden vuosien ajan neutriinojen
oletettiin olevan massattomia, mutta nykyään tiedetään...

Leaking rear axle seal on 65 bug by
Super65
I've replaced twice now the rear seals on this thing and it keeps
leaking. Any thought suggestions? Spacer appears a little pitted-
but I cleaned it up best I could with 800 grit sandpaper. Tried to
see if I could find a new one online- but can't seem to- oil keeps
coming thru this seal...

I made a decision - going Electric by
John J[_3_]
Got three ACVWs. Bodies are in great shape. The '72 has one very crapped
out engine. Going electric on that one. I live in a small rural town.
Should be just perfect. Oh, I'll include a gas heater. :)
Anyone else?
