It's made by Weber Cam in Costa Mesa,Ca.
New in box, comes with camshaft, gear and all nuts/washers
heavy duty springs, hydraulic lifters, spacers for the rocker arms,
pushrods with mushroom type tips, plus a tube of locktite 271. oh, and

Replaced the master cylinder. And came up with a cute trick for doing it
alone - ya know, can't hold the cylinder in place while inside the cab
(and didn't want to attach the lines before doing so).
Anywho, silly me but the blue hose pieces that bridge between the steel

LOL remember these posts?  The scale models and VW toys that you can find at
Wally World??  Well it seems I have found so many in the last few months...
and yeah I had to get them...  Just tonight I bought a double crew cab, a 21
window bus and a beetle... also I got a few 1:87 ...

 I'm putting the fresh air box in my daughter's 72 Super Beetle after
tearing it down and fixing the blower fan (and the vent flaps). The problem
is I didn't remove it, the previous owner had it laying in the trunk along
with the defroster ducts (which are fun to put back, trust ...

Just found this ng, hope ya'll will be able to help us out over the next
little bit.  We bought a '72 super beetle that needs some work and my wife
wants to restore it to the point where it is reliable.
When we have specific questions, I'll ask.  From what I've seen so far, this

I couldn't stand it.  Had a few beers, walked outside, looked at the
bug.  Had an idea and it involved power tools.  Half an hour, half a
cigar, and one beer later...  Much better.  Who'd have thought that
about $2 worth of "stuff" and one power tool and a half hour of work

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with my '69 Bug that I can't figure out. This is
probably a good question for the old carburetor pros. Anyway, car has
1600 single port engine with fairly new (about 4 years old) Solex/

I got lots of good comments about removing an engine in 6 minutes, thanks.
I want to take the engine out of my THING.  Because it is so tall anyway
will I need to jack the THING up to drop the engine?
Regards

Your impressions, please. I am installing a new master cylinder into the
'72 Standard Bug.
Isn't just as easy to bleed the MC after installing as it is to do it on
a bench? It seems to me that filling the resevoir and connecting it to

I would like to add a transistor to my vw's ignition system to do the
switching of the current to the coil. I have got two different
possible circuits online

Any one have any comments about installing a fuel filter in between the fuel
pump and carbies on a Type 3 ( or I guess any car). You hear the odd comment
you shouldnt but apart from the filter bursting under pressure I cant think
of any reason why not.

I've been threatening to do this for ages now, but finally managed to
get around to it.  It's the first time I've removed an engine from a
Beetle, and I have to say it really IS as easy as people say!  It took
me about 45 minutes on my own, which I don't think is too bad at all.

VW use to advertise that the engine could be taken out in 6 minutes.   What
was their starting point?  Does that include the tin?
A bit of advice from friends in other fields..... take the number of hours
alloted for a job times 2, then convert that into days.... any 2 hour job
