I will be ready to see if I can get this engine running very soon! Keiths is at 304-548-7627 or 1-800-722-3289 (1-800-RACEAVW) great prices and knowledgeable people. They also have an extensive machine shop. I have ordered stuff from these guys many times over the years. If you have a VW you need to add this to your resources. They do NOT know that I am posting this here and as far as I know they dont know this site exists. I am not associated with them in any way other than being a satisfied customer. <a href="http://www.keithsautoparts.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.keithsautoparts.com</a> httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAZPrbWQt7c I just got a package from Keith’s Auto Parts -- Volkswagen Specialists.

Not only was the 1967 models unique but there were differences between the vert and standard bugs.

Have you any ideal how a 1968 / 1969 beetle should look like. Im getting like different comments that mine is a super bug but then some commented that the spare tyres is upright instead of lying down so should be in between 68/69. I wanna do a restoration and Im really not sure what look I should be giving it. Like can i install a pre 1965 window crank onto it etc? Any ideals pictures to help me. Thanks Cool.

Go figure.

If you want that bug to run well you MUST tune it up regularly, including points and valve clearances. So you need to learn how to do it yourself or find a good VW mechanic who can do it for you. I recommend that you do it yourself. It isnt too difficult once you get a little bit of experience with it. OH and congrats! I wish I had just recently bought a 66 bug myself! :) Setting the points on an air cooled VW is just a routine matter.
