This car hasn't run in 15 years. I have replaced fuel lines and cleaned
injectors, replaced the double relay etc. etc. last night I tried to start
it and lo and behold it came to life. I ran it for a while and drove it back
and forth in the driveway. Today it won't run. It will ...

Finally got a reply from them today:
Sir, we are in operation however we are not selling the CDI anymore. You
might try looking on J C Whitney web site for different brand of CDI.

Hi gang,
You might remember me posting about this a few months ago, when I said
I probably wouldn't get back to it for a few months... Today I'm glad
to say I've gotten back to it.  The car in question is a '74 standard

What is the size for the metal fuel line that runs through the frame?  This
is on a 77 factory FI Bug.
Does it matter if it's bigger diameter?

Ok, now that we have determined that the problem with the distributor
hold down will require that I pull the distributor out, I am wondering
if I should go ahead and upgrade the ignition with the Pertronix Ignitor
product while I have the thing out.

Hey guys, me again.
I have some questions about the distributor on my 66KG. Distributor is
original, part 113 xxx xxx. The short condenser wire that comes off the
"can" on the side of the dist. leading to the insert on the bottom of

I've been looking for an inexpensive cabinet to use for small parts
(up to shroud sized stuff) for use in my barn/shop.
I already have this pressure blaster for outside use and my compressor
will keep up with it if I blast at about a 50% duty cycle. It really

Hello everyone. I have been lurking about in this forum for a couple of
weeks now. Seems like a great bunch of guys here (with the exception of
some Mario character!). I recently "inherited" a 66 Karmann Ghia. As 66
anything goes, she's in great shape. The car belonged to my ...

Hi all !! It's been a long time.  My bus has been sitting doing nothing for
almost 2 years.  Took it to the AutoUpholsteryCompanyFromHell and after he
screwed around with it for about a year before finishing the most HORRIBLE
panel replacement you could ever imagine.  He had it ...

So I am re-wrapping the fiberglass around the header (Merge 4:1) and the
oil lines that are suspended between two.
I got the wrap locally, but they had none of the stainless straps. The
straps in question are thin, impervious to heat as seen for four years

I have been seeing explanations that go something like "1300cc built to
1600cc".
What exactly do they do to the 1300 to make it a 1600? Is it just a
different crank for more throw? Is it just replaced pistons and

talkin' about a '69 Ghia, disc brakes up-front, drums rear.
Who has the best price on a new (pref. German) master cylinder?
and I saw in Hot Vw's a m.c. for 4 wheel disc brakes, would that do?
TIA

Hi guys, I had a VW 74 super beetle with a bad starter sitting in the
garage for a couple of years, I recently replaced the starter,
battery, changed the engine oil, break oil and added some gas to it. I
tried to start it but it seems fuel isn't reaching the carburetor ,

Can I put 12 V DC across the solenoid to see if it works or does it need the
voltage dropped? I see that there is a resistor in series when I look in the
Chiltons manual.

This is a one owner 69 beetle that has been parked 10 to 15 yrs
