Ok, now we come to the surprises, deception phase. I found a really ugly,
dirty, filthy distributor on the SB. it's a VW I think, it says is made in
brasil. But I really can't identify it. The number on the label (besides VW

On a 71 bus, do you need to drop the engine to install new heat exchange

assistant, I tried the hand-over-the-end-of-the-tailpipe test to check
for an exhaust leak. Burned my hand. While Inge cooed over my owie and
offered to make me feel better by taking my mind off it, I waited ...

My wife's 69 bug is making a howling noise which stops when the clutch

I'm building a baja/bush buggy, off road only out of a 73 standard beetle. I
have a number of 215-75-15 tires kicking around. Will they fit on the stock
