Those dowel pins on the flywheel. by
Mr. K[_2_]
I was looking at this; and I wondered ; Why are those dowels so short.
It would seem like they should be long enough to "fill" the flywheel and
the crank . you know maybe another 3 mm in length. Does anyone make
longer ones. and are there Oversize ones ?
TIA

Air vs coil by
euroteam1
I am a retired Pastor trying something new. I just acquired a V W
Beetle/dune buggy. Apparently the kids who tried to build it couldn't
figure out how to raise the body of the dune buggy up from the V W
chassis to fit the 20" spoke rims. They put 2 pieces of HY 80 angle
iron in to replace the...

Today's hint; by
Mr. K[_2_]
well, installing an engine in a '71 Van went pretty well, but I forgot
to thread the accelerator cable as it went in.
So, being claustrophobic , I found a long tube the same dimensions as
the original throttle tube. Push that thru inches longer and it was a
lot easier to find down under.
Hope...

Valve Guide erosion by
Mr. K[_2_]
On two intake valve guides No.2 and 4 under the valve the guide is
rounded off like eroded. one valve got stuck open. that's why I pulled
the heads. The other guides are just perfect.
this is a type 2 engine circa 1971, dual port.
I wonder, anyone have an idea what went wrong here?

Cuban Combi,s by
John[_28_]
Watched a travel show on Cuba and there was a bay window Combi which
appeared to have a black radiator grille in the front panel. As opposed to
having a radiator hanging off the bull bar with hoses to a Subaru engine in
the back. Anyone know about it?

71 Ghia Convertible top latch replacement by
Steve Mc
Is it just those 2 screws, or is there something hidden whereas the top
needs to come off to replace the latch?
I don't want to get into something I possibly can't finish.

A light horn? by
Mr. K[_2_]
I think it's more an AutoBahn thing, but I'm thinking of a light horn.
Any ideas?
It's to go on a '71 Ghia. I might add air horns too.
