VW expert needed
I need help getting the so's vw running ('75 Bettle type 1 engine, carberated, generator) I understand there are two different fuel pump push rods. I'm not sure if I have a short one or a long one. Does anyone have any dimensions that I can use to check what I have?
TIA

Well, how lame is this? I have almost all of the factory manuals from '52 to '67, and they all state: "Use VW tool # zzz to set push rod height..."

I'm tempted to install an electric pump and call it quits. Any problem with running an electric pump?
