Once again my distributor problem is back. I seem to accelerate ok but steady speed driving and the engine coughs and sputters. Disconnecting the vacuum line to the distributor and the engine runs much better (although not perfect... slight loss is power and acceleration). Does anyone have a...

the cover Ghia . Is that script on the engine lid 9" and what do you think about dropping a '60 body onto a '69 pan? -- Karma, What a concept!

I,ve noticed that now I have to fairly regularly work a bit of oil into the choke pivots or the chokes seize up on my T3. About every 6 months, not a big deal. Just get some light oil on pivot near where it enters body of carby and wriggle things for a few minutes. Never happened when I used...

Just recently, I've almost hit reverse on a downshift to 2nd. what is the adjustment like? . it's a Type 1 1969 Cabriolet. -- Karma, What a concept!

This is the way hobbies get out of hand: ;) I was delighted to find a gray Blaupunkt Lido (made in 62/63) for the grey bus as it has radio cover plate recycled for windshield washer button and I didn't want to change that. So a portable radio and this one fits to style...

Hi, my steering box is leaking. I have read that you can replace the seals but I can't find anywhere to buy one - does anyone know where I can get one. I am in the UK but will buy from anywhere. It would also be good to hear from anyone who has replaced their own seal.

Where can I get one? TIA!

I have a 1986 diesel T3 Syncro. Is the fuel pump in the tank?

Does anyone have a good idea of where in the San Francisco Bay Area I could donate my 1965 Ghia? It needs some body and cosmetic work, but is a great daily driver. I would love it to go to a good home, so I was considering donating it to a tech school that could use it as a practice car. I...

the top is a little torn on the Cabriolet. so I leave it down and just wait and wait for a sunny day. even if it is a fairly nice day I take it out. Let people think old ACVW's have great heaters. I even left the wiper blades off. I don't like the way they look. I do want another 50 years out of...

Any point to where the transmission type/number is stamped? And is the 4 cyl Diesel engine number stamped anywhere? This is a 1986 Vanagon (T3)

Which are the best heater boxes to buy? I am currently using the Dansk made heater boxes. TIA!

Amongst other things just got a couple of clips for the sun visors of my T3. The whinge is if a manufacturer has gone to the trouble of making a mould for an item etc how much extra work would there be to add two "non return" wedges as on the original instead of one. As it is they tend to not...

Looking for ideas. I removed my engine from my 69 bus and following the instillation I find that the motor won't start, the starter won't even turn over. I check the connections on the starter and all are fine and test out well.l I did replace the starter however following this issue I put the...

I saw it in their new catalog. Mid America Motorworks bought out OEVEEDUB. Richard Davies now works for Mid America Motorworks.

new heads and cylinder set freshened the motor real nice. It was worth the whole weekend and $591 in new parts to make it run on all four again. Now out to do a final valve adjust before going to work. -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux)

Does anyone have the correct part number(s)? Apparently after 37 years, my supplier has the wrong item in the catalog.

Another great feature of digital ballasts is the ability to run both MH and HPS bulbs on the same ballast without having to flip a switch (it should be noted that not all digital ballasts on the market are programmed (or optimized) to do this properly, Eclipse LED digital ballasts are).

I just put it down... It's around here somewhere. -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy. -- Philip Zimmermann
