CB Performace screws you on postage and handling costs. I'll never order from them again. I use aircooled.net.

Based on the few photos of your yellow bug...it looks really clean.
I had a '68 back in the old days and I loved that car. I built a 1766cc and bought many of my parts from a place called Sebring West in Fresno. That place is still their but is now a Car Quest branch - still named Sebring West. I go ther from time-to-time and I see they have lots of VW stuff. I also think there would be many online shops like VW Unlimited, Clauds Buggies, etc.. Even Jake Raby sells a lot of VW stuff albeit I think his specialty is Type IV motors but I know he has Type I stuff too. Just my $0.02 worth. |

No heater cables on mine... the heat exchangers were rotted out completely and I had also shiitcanned some of the tin. Mine were my first and second cars and were complete rust buckets..... That said, I loved them.

First car was a '64 that had been converted into a Baja Bug. Could pull the engine out in 2 1/2 minutes flat! Have had several others, including a '62 with a ragtop sunroof. Fun cars to work on and drive.

Craig,
If you are using the same heads, have you checked for cracks? I remember cracking between the spark plug and one (or both) of the valves being common. There could be some micro cracks that will develop into macro cracks later on.

Well I got the case all together but ran into a problem with one head, it has a bad exhaust seat so now I have to order some next week and wait, wait, wait. I hate these heads, I prefer to rebuild the 911 heads but then that's what I am set up for. So in the meantime I am painting a bunch of tin to make it look real purdy.

Got the heads done tonight, I was waiting for an exhaust seat that needed replacement, Don at Bug Patch shipped me one pdq. I put in all new guides, one new exhaust seat, valves and springs. Should have it back in the car this weekend!
